CATERPILLAR

A POEM by: Fernando de Mello Pimentel

Caterpillar
Here's your three pillars:
light, puff and pass

Caterpillar
Your silky epidermis
holds good grass

Caterpillar
You've given us some hits
for mind emancipation

Caterpillar
We've been here waiting
for your transformation

Caterpillar
Instead, you've given us wings
so that we can fly

Caterpillar
Who's this moth?
Where's my butterfly?

Caterpillar
What a great sensation
You’re a real thriller

Caterpillar
I was skeptical at first
Now I’m a believer!
