Maria Sybilla Merian
In my youth, I did spend my time
Investigating insects:
Segmented bodies of summertime
Perhaps a victimless crime
The true opposite of architect
In my youth, I did spend my time
Cause of curiosity sublime:
To take apart, examine, dissect
Segmented bodies of summertime
A quirked progression of past time
Where soul and body might intersect
In my youth, I did spend my time
Frankenstein, with lesser grime
The recreation of imperfect
Segmented bodies of summer time
And then, after, was old wintertime
My innocence no more suspect
In my youth, I did spend my time
Segmented bodies of summertime
