"If a lion could talk, we could not understand him." So listen instead to what does speak: the ant under your shoe, writing life in scent. I lay a trail that reads like a sentence, press my antennae to a sister for grammar, taste sugar and grit as punctuation. I do not speak; I broadcast maps, alarms, and care with chemicals and touch. In plain, unsentimental scenes I narrate how a single path becomes a mind — how food, brood, and danger are solved by bodies obeying small rules until they look like decisions. This is natural history pried open at the seam where science meets sensation. ...
