RETROGRESSION

August 29th, 2007 by charles frederickson · No Comments

Caterpillar striptease shedding nubby skin
Swaying hammock comfortable silk cocoon
Security blanket petrified by fear
Afraid of turning into butterfly

About face metamorphosis inverse reaction
Deactivated pupa coming to standstill
Spiny larva wormlike slimy regression
Cracked eggs glued back together

Pesky flies reemerge as maggots
Frogs princely tadpoles tails reconnected
Forced open blossoms seedy buds
Mad hatter oaks capped acorns

Counterclockwise hours become secondhand minutes
Future making past presence felt
Once upon history twice retold
Déjà vu all over again

Rearranged tones high notes counterpoint
Upper and lower voices transposed
Establishing harmonic fugue euphonious blend
While retaining own linear individuality

Never indifferent acknowledge differences until
Differences make no difference anymore
Be yourself constantly reinventing originality
Everyone else is taken anyway
