Caterpillar

    A poem which is not a poem in many ways and I'd like you to enlighten me about that because I is the Caterpillar and not the wise one.

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
