Not middle of the road
But left of field
Strange but necessary
Alliance hunter
With the hunted
One an easy snack
The other watch your back
Injected with a poison
The fate that awaits
Those who are blind
Cannot or will not see
How very precious and delicate
Real beauty can be
Even just a curious glance
Will cause some petals
To drop and fall
A co existence of times
Just to a forward move
Alas though
Past tales dictate
Eventually the caterpillar
Becomes part of a-sandwich
For the hungry poisonous toad
So much for middle of the road
Caterpillars take chances
Hitch a ride
As long as it’s to the future
You have to be prepared
To Slide.

The caterpillar
And the cane toad ;
Not middle of the road
But left of field
Strange but necessary
Alliance hunter
With the hunted
One an easy snack
The other watch your back
Injected with a poison
The fate that awaits
Those who are blind
Cannot or will not see
How very precious and delicate
Real beauty can be
Even just a curious glance
Will cause some petals
To drop and fall
A co existence of times
Just to a forward move
Alas though
Past tales dictate
Eventually the caterpillar
Becomes part of a-sandwich
For the hungry poisonous toad
So much for middle of the road
Caterpillars take chances
Hitch a ride
As long as it’s to the future
You have to be prepared
To Slide.
