A Measuring Worm
by, Richard Wilbur (from The New Yorker magazine - February 11, 2008)
This yellow striped green
Caterpillar, climbing up
The steep window screen,Constantly (for lack
Of a full set of legs) keeps
Humping up his back.It’s as if he sent
By a sort of semaphore
Dark omegas meantTo warn of Last Things.
Although he doesn’t know it,
He will soon have wings,And I, too, don’t know
Toward what undreamt condition
Inch by inch I go.
