Into this poem
I tucked a thousand
butterflies so when
you read it, they
flutter out—bright winged
and brilliant, each
a reminder of the
thousand gifts
you’ve given—
and also, though
it’s not easy to hide it
inside Times New Roman,
there’s a big brown bull,
stubborn and formidable.
He doesn’t care
about all those pretty bugs,
he just wants to get across
the message,
What you do matters.
If you doubt it,
just look at those nostrils,
just look at those horns.
