I watched an ant, stumbling across the hairs on my arm, a scene as remote and beyond my control as a leaf falling from a tree in China. I had no say in any of it.
Even if I were to fool myself that this wasn’t so by brushing the ant away, I’d still be left with the arm. The arm – with its impenetrable jungle of hairs, each one unique, purposeful, unaccountable, utterly, fundamentally incomprehensible.
I wondered if such a sense of helplessness might have occurred to the ant, right before everything disappeared.
