Attention passengers:
A butterfly is loose on the train
Please remain seated
It may make you want
to follow it about
as it alights on the shoulder
of beautiful sleeping woman
It may evoke feelings of awe
But for your own safety
please remain calm
Everything will be ok.
A butterfly is loose
Part dragon and part primordial insect
Please keep your distance
We have no way to control its behavior
It may make your heart flutter
As it looks at itself in the dark window
It may make your eyes light up
It may make your face make a smiling shape
It is not BART’s policy to allow wild creatures aboard
Rest assured:
The situation will be promptly rectified
Everything will be okay
