Caterpillars

	Silvia was struck by lightning
	While reading in bed one night
	She left the windows open
	And the storm caught her by surprise
	For a day she laid here still as a stone
	Clipped to pumps and tubes
	Then out her window the street lights flashed
	And at last, her fingers moved
	She awoke to a cacophony
	Of electric radio waves
	Pulsing rays of energy
	Falling from outer space
	High and swaying towers
	Down in basements full of dust
	She could not escape the sterling
	Or the 60 cycle arm
	She moved on, tempted spectacles
	Several fur lion capes
	3 pairs of velvet gloves
	A vain of dotted Swiss
	But all the earth’s vibrations
	Still pounded through her ears
	So she packed a steamer trunk
	And flew a prop plane to Belize
	From there a log raft took her
	Over raging waterfalls
	Deep within uncharted jungle
	Where giant caterpillars crawl
	The spun their silk around her
	A cocoon between the trees
	And still she hangs there swinging
	Deep within the dripping leafs
	Keepin time with every rumble
	Every quiver of the earth
	And she slowly changes shape
	With the turning of the world
