ever think about life I mean other living things
I do have since being a kid I remember in our back yard
when I’m I don’t know nine or ten
I find this really big long green caterpillar
so I watch it every day best I can with school and all
I mean it just chomps on leaves all day
yeah you probably figure its life is boring
but then it covers itself all in silk
and sleeps for a long time ‘till it awakens wondrously
emerging quite sublime
beautiful Cecropia Moth
dazzling in its glamour
It has just a fortnight to live
Oh God but watch it soar
