Page no . just several weeks or may be a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. near the blackberry bushes. I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back. When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement step and went inside to answer the phone. So I prayed for them and then I put them in an old torn up shoe box and I buried them in the bottom of the fort that I had built in the ground. make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory. but it was too hard to do. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. I told him that I did not do anything but he did not believe me. I had walked many times out into the bushes. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just quivered. Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad placed to live and a very bad place to die. I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. just so the butterflies could land on my head. How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old. and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings. one after the other. by that big old tree. After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies that lived by the hundreds in the bushes strewn around the orphanage. The next thing I knew the house parent came walking back out of the back door by the garbage room and started yelling at me. I sat there in the dirt. face and hands so I could look at them up close. I would get up every morning at the orphanage. for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the top of the head. It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin. out by the large bamboos. all by myself.
