Great Grey Ghost

Good Girl

​there is a caterpillar 
in the arctic 
who freezes in the night
first its guts
then its blood
Technically it dies 

But when the sun rises
It's the first one up
To catch the early bloomings in the dawn
Meal by meal
year by year
it savors (every bite) 

After 12 years/ dying and trying 
I've formed a silken shield 
It isn't much as for protection
but it's my doorway to salvation 

More than a decade of blood and frost 
Of dying in my sleep
I'll finally earn the will to fly 
These wings are mine to keep

There is a commonly held belief 
Advice from real adults
Enjoy it while you're young
The perfect youth and the energy 
Pure sensual delight
You might as well enjoy it while you can

But I've heard a different song in my life
Like moonlight in the fog
Delay your pleasure now in youth
First the smokes and then the booze
Prepare for the cocoon

Enjoy It While You Can
