Crawling up the side of a stone wall,
The leaf I ate still filling my belly.
Lately I’ve been feeling myself,
with all of my tiny, little arms.
Going unnoticed, not hurting anyone,
making my way in my pointless existence.
Time will only tell how long I have to live
Maybe I’ll stop and say hello, I had a lover once.
A little Caterpiller, she said she needed space,
the next time I saw her she flew away disgraced.

Sometimes I run into another living thing,
could a ladybug, or something that stings.
Millipede they call me, but I’ve no use for the term
But I suppose it’s better than being a dirty earthworm.
Time will only tell how long I have to live
Maybe I’ll stop and say hello, I had a lover once.
A little Caterpiller, she said she needed space,
the next time I saw her she flew away disgraced.

I’ve been alive too long it seems,
the darkness of the forest towers over me.
Memories of predators haunt my dreams,
I curl into a ball to get some sleep.
walking’s such a chore these days,
I just can’t be bothered, what with all these legs
