Some crave bouquets and medals
but want lowered bars
that any leg can hop over
and wish for widened hoops
so any throw can yield a basket ;
but even cicadas have firm rules :
every nymph that seeks the imago’s wings
must sojourn underground for years on end
show the roots from which it drank only sap
and point at the bough where it’s exuvia hangs;
so do monarch butterflies insist :
every caterpillar craving the black and orange wings
must endure a sole meal of chewy milkweed
undergo in full five mandatory instars
and in a chrysalis hang upside down for days on end ;
to join the ranks of crocs and gators
privileged to crush without millstones
meals of gristle, bones and shells
one must first swallow and hold within
lumps of raw craggy rocks.
