A Grasshopper Must Jump

offer young grasshopper
tiny roots of wisdom
to perceive her reality

grasshopper wants desires
to jump ever more boldly
from grass blade to blade

see how high I can jump
see how far I can jump
screams young grasshopper

grasshopper wants praise
grasshopper wants esteem
grasshopper wants no advice

grasshopper hears with legs
so jump blindly grasshopper
learn own leap life lessons
