turtle
sometimes i feel like i’m living under a rock. like a turtle or sea urchin or something.
i don’t know anything about the world around me in almost every way. i’m even losing touch with my own immediate world.
has the bubble that i’ve lived in all my life extended too far?
the wind blows. the sun shines. why do i feel like i’ve been left so far behind.
Dear Turtle. The bubble is larger than you think. Under all those other rocks, we are living, too. We didn’t want to bother you. You seemed so quiet and not to be making any noise. In fact, we have been none too sure you lived there. Then, somebody said, “Oh yeah, there’s a turtle in East Lansing under that rock.” We were pleasantly surprised to know that you have been there, hence the effort to be neighbors. We live under a rock near the Canadian border on the West Coast. PS. Does everyone in Michigan get free cars as we have heard rumored? http://www.gnuzworks.com
