Explore "Advice to a Butter-Cup" by Maxwell Bodenheim on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Undistinguished butter-cup / Lost among myriads of others, / To the red ant eyeing you / You are giant stillness. / He pauses on the boulder of a clod, / Baffled by your nearness to the sky. / But to the black loam at your feet / You are the atom of a pent-up dream.
/ Undistinguished butter-cup, / Take your little breath of contemplation, / Undisturbed by haughty tricks of space.
