Turn Your Head and Kafka

my days as a larvae are largely a worth while living eating leaves apart from bark of fallen trees life's a lark except to mind the aardvarks and andvanced chimps that surmise this stick looks like a tool but that's old school for a feeling foretold someday my wings would unfold and what after all are wings but who am i to think these things untrue so a day comes and i find i'm one a hard shelled beetle but in bed on my back and can't get up to use those oh so useful wings

I wonder how many potential flyers remain grounded.

Lol Richard. I was hoping for the idea of "the Metamorphosis" would shine through, but I guess it didn't work... oh well

Better late than never, If I could only get up...I'd fly...a hard shelled beetle on it's back must spread wings or die...I like the creativity here...
