Beware of Sneezing Butterflies
Have you ever felt so connected?
To the world around you –
That a sneezing butterfly,
Could suddenly displace you?
One ripple on the wind,
An undercurrent in the air,
Causing cataclysmic slides,
Send you into despair.
How or why you do not understand,
A second ago,
You were in some faraway land.
But sneezing butterflies do more than that:
After anxious moments,
Of flittering about,
They light on trees and leaves and things,
Bringing color and wonder to everything.
So maybe they are not that bad,
And a little hysteria is just a fad.
But then again,
Beware my friend,
Of sneezing butterflies!

How can I answer? What can I say?
I have seen drunken butterflies
gorging on rotten fruit
yummy and relaxing
with fermented juice.
I tell you: the more they eat,
the lazier they get.
They lose their senses,
land on people's shoulders and head
and face. One ear is as good as the other
for they can still fly,
although drunk they sure are.
