Sir Day Walker

Praise Koolaid

Would you step on a caterpillar, she asked

Would you kill the future memory of a child

who is fighting for their reason, and one day~

one day when the butterfly was to make its

permanent mark upon the little child

who would bear their first real smile upon the world

that will reflect back upon us through a photograph

…and the butterfly

…would you, she asked?

Would you step on a caterpillar?

How will you know if I do, I asked

She said

When the childs memory…is gone too soon

That’s the day your feet stop touching the ground

And the butterfly is no where to be found
