Crawling in my brain

sleeping in my nose

eating lettuce leaves and drinking all my soda Caterpillar

trying not to step on him

cleaning up his guts

red and yellow, red and orange, and green and yellow and purple

waiting for your wings

you're tired of crawling in the dirt

it's no fun being on the ground

the pill bugs are always rolling

into you

caterpillar

you are in us all

careful not to fall asleep

on the playground swings again

the mantises are praying for you

and the earthworms simply adore you

eating up the colors

that you'll one day wear

when you fly
