Remembering Robert Frost

Note a mildly cynical Frost in "Departmental," written in couplets of almost perfect rhyme. It could be considered not about ants but humans: specifically, the bureaucracy of organizational jobs in our world. Frost's wry humor gives us the sense that things are always 'someone else's job.' His emotions, both good and bad, flow through his semantics. One could consider him a rebel of sorts, admitting he had, "a lover's quarrel with the world."
