1 may

because the caterpillar knows
(it will be in good hands)
it waits outside my apartment door
overnighting patiently for morning rescue
yes, of course, i will
balanced on paper scraps over english muffin
down three flights
cajoled to rainy grass
here is what is good for you
simple enough
but if i knew
straightforward rescue behind which door
would i stretch out waiting overnight?
