The Monarch’s cortex, head of a pin,
	contains maps of Earth and heavens within.

But the brain of our President holds less space
	to chart a course for the human race.

We bet he didn’t see them go
	when he choppered down to Mexico.

Butterflies equipped with Nature’s GPS
	outsmart even Air Force One, we guess.

Flying past Stars and Stripes unfurled,
	an exodus of migrants in an uncaged world.

Lincoln Brower, aged 86 years, died on
	July 17, 2018. He spent over sixty years
	studying the epic migratory pathways
	of the Monarch butterfly between
	North America and Mexico.
