Today I met a butterfly, while sitting, eating rhubarb pie. A handsome one, though hardly shy he landed and I wondered why, perhaps he fancied rhubarb pie? He sat, against the clear blue sky then cocked his head and whispered 'Hi'. I was about to ask him why when I could see he missed an eye, he noticed and let out a sigh then told me he was swinging by because he was a Gemini, intent to groom and beautify himself and every single guy who shared his love for rhubarb pie. I begged him now to clarify what happened to the other eye. He answered 'to declassify would mean to oversimplify, suffice it that the Lorelei is reason that I lost one eye. Up on that cliff she waved good-bye when I was still a dragonfly. Today I come to see you die and when I watch you go I'll cry, but only with the missing eye.
