Tennessee Earthworm

I spent four minutes watching youThis morningI won’t say wasted–But it wasn’t like I didn’t have anything else to doYou were mesmerizing!Think of it, a lowly wormCapturing my attentionAs you crossedThe handicap spotIn the parking lotI started to help you on your wayBut you were doing fineAnd I didn’t know where you were going, anyway,Although you seemed Very SureI watched over youTo protect youFrom a hungry birdOr unaware driverBut really I watchedJust for meWhere did you come fromWhat made you set out on this adventureHow far are you goingAnd once you got to the grassI breathed a little easierAnd you did, tooAs you took a rest under the leafAnd for a momentI thought I could hear you celebrate your victoryYou made itCongratulations, worm, and thank you…
