Time Fluffs the Butterfly
A rhythmic display of time and space
intertwined with butterfly wings
looking like a parachuter's eyes
through the fear in their goggles
Hold the insect with gentle hands
and allow a moth-like backpack
to carry your troubles to the next class
on a never-ending schedule
As if time could really fluff a butterfly
but yet, it does
