Turtles
can’t count
how many …
nor count
how many …
that timing
took
that timing
gave
shells broken
shells unbroken
down the street
and timing was
what timing is
just yesterday
when there you were
your shell unbroken
and there was I
but you’re young yet
so off to the glade you go
find some water
some damp dirt
a place to sleep
to wake up
and keep to the trail
outta the street
