Butterfly effect!

Help me! Help me!

Help me draw my coveted neighbor

Next to me!

Flap incessantly for just half a minute

About the flowers growing in

The volcanic soil near the pacific rim.

May the winds stirred by your breeze

Flourish up warm into the cold air

And create a cyclone

In a nightmare of weather. 

Let the power outage be

Sufficient for me

To reach him, true,

While the internet is down,

And build a fire between our grounds

And share the warmth

Of human company.

May “Love Thy Neighbor”

Be more than an epitaph 

For you and me,

And we can say 

It’s all because a butterfly flew

Somewhere over Hawaii.
