---BUTTERFLY---


from the ABC set SHORT (OR LONG) DITTYS - RANGING FAR FROM THE POINT

A butterfly takes flight
and becomes a human,
whose flapping wings
become the arms
of an epileptic freaking in a train.

The butterfly looks about in confusion,
and becomes the foam,
in the mouth of a young child
passed out in a gutter.

The butterfly whispers snow
and becomes winter,
and the world mourns it`s loss.
