—a caterpillar to inch, his fingernails need cutting
—a butterfly to land, his pjs, he's outgrowing
—a leaf to fall, he's out crawling and walking
—a swallow of fruit, he's just trying to be understood.
—a ball to bounce, he's off running and jumping
—a window to shatter, so many rules he's out breaking
—a car to change lanes, he's getting a grounding
—a pull of a pipe, he's just trying to be understood.
—a bud to burst open, doesn't have a date for the dance, is skipping
—an acorn to fall, is touring colleges to which he isn't, or is applying
—a snap of a fly trap, he's off with his friends, his girlfriend, he's leaving,
—the crack of a thunderstorm, I'm just trying to be understood.
—a snowflake to land, a nice woman he'll marry
—a baby to cry, she'll soon be carrying
—a bubble to burst, he'll want more from this life, tries not worrying
But then he'll blink one day too, and all will be understood.
