Naturally I

Chose to be alone

I began life this way and

I know how to be myself in any

Given situation

I played

By myself slowly made

My dinner last so that my

Parents gave

In. Left

Me in

In solitude with

Peas and carrots often sitting upside

Down. Those black leather cups, holding me as

A chrysalis

Hanging from

A branch looking at

My home, shiny, crisp and new

The shiny black formica and steal, a formation

Of some

Space flower,

With green and orange

Nutrition for my folded wings to

Spread wide and fly alone happily upto a

Little room
