Where were you
When did it take place
Who was with you
How did it take place
Why is it relevant

What is the moral


In the city park i noticed 2 orange butterflies.
they were going round and round the many flowers
at that hour of the morning they were not stopping 

i stood amazed at how quickly they moved
their erratic flight path was done as the breeze rose and fell

then i considered their tiny bodies between those lovely wings
i imagined how much nectar they might harvest per day
i pondered how super potent that nectar must be for them 
and i realized they must have an amazingly efficient digestive system

that much movement that fast in those breezes costs use of fuel
yet they did it yesterday and will do it again tomorrow
they do not have a freezer at home with spare food
they cannot lean on coffee, tea or energy drinks to get an extra boost


sprinklers sprayed showers of life giving water on the lawn of the city park.
then just as suddenly as they began the water fountains ended
these sprinkler heads and the systems behind them keep the lawn green for the dogs and me.
