LOOK AT THE BUTTERFLY

He is looking at a butterfly
that isn't there.

He is looking at a butterfly
that isn't there because

I have told him to
look at the butterfly.

And because I am
his big brother

he trusts me
that there will be

a butterfly.

The camera goes click.
Captures my brother

and the famous butterfly
that was never there.

"Did you see it...did you see it!"
"Yes...yes I saw it!"

Now at your dying
I call to you

"Look at the butterfly Brian...
look at the butterfly!"
