The Caterpillar of the Community
I chew on the leaves
And sway in the breeze
But soon
Will cocoon
And say bye to the trees
There’s surely no doubt
What my life is about
As my jaws
Are the laws
That make me go all out
Like a wave I crawl
Up and down most all
Green plants
With the ants
Before it turns fall
Yet watch for the birds
That need no passwords
To peck ya
And wreck ya
Or snip you in thirds
And I’ve set the date
To somehow pupate
In my palace
Chrysalis
Where I’ll hang and wait
For that splendid day
When I’ll fly away
And blindly
Find me
A mate on display
An opportunity
For some unity
To thrill her
As the ‘pillar’
Of the community
