 Two-Headed Skippers

Dr Abe V Rotor

Skippers are crepuscular (dusk loving), they
have characteristics of the moth and the butterfly.
Scientists find them unique specimens to study.

Myth or truth - who is telling the story?

     There's a Janus among insects, too.

But where is the head, which is tail?

     I am predator, how would I know?

I would rather retreat from the puzzle

     and settle for an easier prey;

And let the world go by in fantasy

     in make-believe story.

Ask the scientists, ask the old folks,

     theirs the contrast of the other;

One holds on tools, the other on belief,

     to either one, why bother?

Cast doubt, indecision on the powerful,

     and the prey wins the game;

Creatures big and small, strong and frail,

     Survival is just the same. ~
