...a poem
and now the world is changed
'tis true
but, do not concern yourself
the flutter of a butterfly's wings
may induce a hurricane
half-way 'round the world
the butterfly is not
mindful of such
nor should the poet be
flutter your dance
and dance your flutter
to the next alluring flower
best speak no more of this

a poem to poets
and some good advice. but while one butterfly may make a hurricane the millions of others that day fluttered without any notice at all. the tempo seemed to change up from one S to the next, but i might be wrong. very thoughtful piece.
