Papilio Ulysses
Two lavish blue wings
Gliding innocently across tropical plains.
Pollinating plants, blossoming  new life.
Two brilliant blue Wings
Flap, Flap, Flap.
Big bright stranger.
An alluring flower to pollinate?
Gliding curiously across tropical plains.
Man patiently waits with a white net.
One clumsy swing to capture
Trap, Trap Trap.
Papilio Ulysses
Only one lavish blue wing
Struggling to keep up in the air.
Practicing flight in the unknown.
Many bright strangers.
Flap, Flap, Flap
