CHRYSALIS DREAM: A caterpillar's secret longing

	Do you long to emerge from your silk coffin
	and discover vistas across fields and streams?

	Do you wish to flutter in summer breezes
	while smelling fresh honeysuckle or ripe cranberries?

	Do you want to dance above pine needles
	while beholding sunbeams?

	Ah, such are the dreams of many cocooned half-caterpillars, 
	stuck within the chrysalises of their youth
	whose wings are weirdly forming
	and bodies feel somehow uncouth.
