Dragonfly

Oh, dragonfly!
I stare into your big blue eyes.
They stare back and I wonder why
it’s so hard to get to know you.

You flick a wing.
I know you see everything
in ultraviolet shimmering.
How quietly you take in the view.

Your history
an evolutionary mystery.
It's quite an unfair trickery -
a giant once, now look at you!

Nonetheless, to
your usefulness I will confess,
to your presence I acquiesce,
but I can’t stand to watch you chew.
