• I do not like butterflies:
    Their bright colors;
    Their showy patterns;
    Gracefully fluttering from flower to flower.

    I much prefer moths:
    Their dull wings;
    Their sensible design;
    Swiftly speeding directly from here to there.

    I worry though,
    that the moths prefer the butterflies.
    Are they enchanted by the fluorescent brightness?
    Maybe that's why they always fly into the fire:

    Kamikaze style.

    Will they ever learn?
    Chasing something that beautiful
    Can only end in tragedy.
