Just Things






Just Things

A poem for two voices


Blah.

It’s boring outside—

Just dirt and rocks

and plants and things—


Oh— what’s that?

wriggling up that rock—

It’s basalt.

What?

A rock made from cooled lava.

No- that orange worm!

A caterpillar

A caterpillar? Ugh!

It’s looking for a place to hide.

Why?

It wants to form a pupa
where it will open up into

A butterfly?

a two-tailed swallowtail butterfly


Wow!

It’s exciting outside.

Basalt, caterpillars,

non-living and living things!


What’s that…
