"... Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't 
want to be an ant. You know? I mean, it's like we go through life with 
our antennae bouncing off one another, continously on ant autopilot, 
with nothing really human required of us. 'Stop.' 'Go.' 'Walk here.' 
'Drive there.' All action basically for survival. All communication 
simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite 
manner. 'Here's your change.' 'Paper or plastic?' 'Credit or debit?"' 
'You want ketchup with that' I don't want a straw. I want real human 
moments. I want to see you. I want you to see me. I don't want to give 
that up. I don't want to be ant, you know?" "Yeah... yeah I know. I 
don't want to be an ant either. Thanks for kinda, like, josteling me 
there... I've been kinda on zombie autopilot lately. I don't feel like 
an ant in my head, but I guess I probably look like one..." --Waking
