Alternate title : how time goes by
The turtle
here i m
So close to the earth , feeling old and slow
Far off in vision I can 4c it, my impending end
Melancholy? No, only resigned
The vision is a dark spot. The dark spot slowly growing and becoming familar, becoming destiny. The dark moves, still growing ,drawing closer. It brings earth-jarring change.
Looming now. The dark is all I know. My soul shakes and my body withdraws into its shell for the long sleep. It is done.
The elephant
Oh boy! I can’t wait to get home for dinner. I’m so excited I think I will run home.
Hey,!what was that? Must’ve stepped on a turtle.
