Turtles

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

TL
