Turtle

By Anon

 

 

I am a lopsided, red eyed, algae coated, moss encrusted, old, slow, ugly flesh, stiff and hard and round, my head is round, my arms are round, my legs are round, no fingers
My body, even the scallops are round, old
Masculine or feminine
Green army rigidity
I am life I glow and sparkle and hurt. I crawl down the middle of your life.
Who am I? Who are you?
I need to stay apart in perfect posture
Do you disappear when you hide? No big shell?
mmm armor equals protection, equals absolutely soft inside, and no defense.

Turtle wanted a necklace out of it
Green was ecology and forward thinking but ultimately it meant old
It also meant the army and the turtle body and being really tough
It also meant eyes and jealousy and desire
With the necklace it meant styling,
Which was questionable,
Which meant,
It didn’t care.
