    Turtles



    I often watch them

    As they drift about

    In their liquid landscape.

    Caressing the shifting walls

    Of their world.



    They bob their stout necks

    Upward, attempting to

    Taste the bright yellow

    Rays that broach the surface.



    On the concrete pass above

    We exchange our envies.

    I crane my neck out,

    Yearning to feel their

    Watery, leather-bound world.



    As they depart under the bridge,

    I bid them farewell.

    For they have their aquatic

    Lives to attend to.

    I begin my swim,

    Brushing past the shifting walls

    Of humanity.

    In my concrete world.

    It's like a super haiku - in effect.

    Hmmm... I never quite thought of it like that. I suppose it is.
