(the prompt for the evening was ʻButterflyʼ by Robert Graves)
How DID you get from there to here?
By guess, yes, by guess is best.
By should you could
By right you might
There is no map
Itʼs not a snap
A sharp turn may burn
As I could only slowly learn
Flying crooked covers ground
By good fortune, earth is round
Every story is unique
Read aloud, but do not peek
Chapter chapter, line by line
flying straight, flying blind
How DO you get from here to there?
By guess, YES, by guess is best.
