Two Road Trips

When I think about
getting from here to there 
is a matter of logistics and options.

How much must I bring?
When must I be there?
Who else is coming?
How can I afford to travel?

For a butterfly, 
it's more about riding the air,
moving toward the next plant.
It's a short life,
but a lovely one.
