I got my iPhone today
by Daniel R Stout

I got my iPhone today.
I opened up the box
and the pod was inside.
I carefully slide my hand
into the pod –
and I must say
there was a lot of goo –
but I couldn’t get
the iPhone out.
It felt like it was tugging
back at me
so I crawled into the pod
and it’s nice and warm
in here. I realized that
it is just the chrysalis
of the butterfly yet
to appear.
The iPhone stayed dormant
with me for several weeks
but finally
the pod broke open.
The iPhone spread its wings
with the joy of haemolymph
coursing through.
I grabbed onto one of the
iPhone’s legs and we drifted
with the wind.
Life is better now – with the iPhone.
We go from field to field
drinking the dew
and pollinating the flowers.
It’s a good life
and I know
that I shall be happy.
