Homeland Security

BY GEOFFREY BROCK

The four am cries of my son worm through the double foam of earplugs and diazepam. The smoke alarm's green eye glows. Beneath the cries, the squirm and bristle of the night's catch of fiddlebacks on the glue-traps guarding our bed. Necrotic music. Scored in my head. And all night
columns of ants have tramped through the ruins of my sleep, bearing the fipronil I left for them home to their queen. Patriot ants. Out of republics endlessly perishing. If I can hold out long enough, maybe my wife will go. If she waits long enough, maybe he'll go back down on his
own.
