If I Were...

A Butterfly

If I were
a butterfly?
A sugar cube
or a melon?

If I were
a pizza slice
or a chewy
fudgy brownie...

Of a flower
in a field
or a bee buzzing
around a flower...

Or could I be
an allegory
or a metaphor
trying to
make a point
because that is what
writers do?

It's always surprising to me how some people take things literally that are meant to be figurative if you get my drift...  Writers are prolific creatures in their use of allegory, metaphor, simile, and what not because that is what writers do.  If I said I were a butterfly do you expect me to be one?  Or do you get that I was trying to make a point?

There is a difference between a moron and an airhead...  Petty is as petty does...  Here's another petty one...
