Along the cool sidewalk it crawls
across frigid pavement
wandering around in this late fall
an October caterpillar
with no expectations
born too late
an early expiration
space
Yet it goes on as if at the dawn of life
not worrying of the dire future
it simply lives on
eats, loves, crawls
its bliss is not ignorance
perhaps it is wiser than us all
