002 | in my goo era
did you know
caterpillars basically dissolve
to become a butterfly.
but
a brimstone, a swallowtail, a map caterpillar -
they already are a brimstone, a swallowtail, a map butterfly.
the goo inside the chrysalis
is still
a brimstone, a swallowtail, a map.
becoming
is not pretty;
it's cruel and painful and scary.
but during all this time,
no matter the state,
i am still
me,
becoming.
