Butterflies

21 March 2006, 12:26 AM

All this talk about butterflies
it's got me wanting to see one
though I'm awfully fond of caterpillars
their fat-sectioned bodies and almost-legs

They can be soft
those little caterpillars
I've always liked the feel of the fuzzy ones
against my cheek
(though butterfly's wings are softer)
and they're so harmless

But I wouldn't call them beautiful
and I so want to be beautiful
