Butterfly Poem

Well today I saw the most beautiful thing
I saw Nikes pressing pedals and i imagined my own blue toes right there helping along.
And I saw a
girl
*almost*
press a
boy
up against a swingset and feel his heartbeat in his eyes and clean his lips of doubt.
I saw a blonde flipping off...
the deep end
(uh-oh)
And that wasn't so beautiful but life is a destroyer.
I saw wet hair falling in the faces of two confused sailors
And I watched them forget about everything and wear stripes instead.
I watched the mirror become confused and I witnessed the grass on the lawn
And I watched the whole time the window slammed shut
And I stifled the lamplight until it was gone.
