• I don’t carry my home
  and i’m more chartreuse
  than greenMetaphorically though
  I have some very turtlish
  qualitiesI retreat to my shell
  when confronted
  and i’m low on the food chain

  I’m wary of those who fly
  they might pick me up
  only to drop me
  and kill a tragedian

  I hate lettuce
  though so
  do snapping turtles
  eat meat

  not important
  so ah
  fuck turtles.

• Let me tell you a story
  about a turtle named Terrell
  He had a knack for walking slow
  as you can tell,
  He was all of ninety years
  for ninety years he walked
  And never once had to sleep
  in someone else’s hotel
  He had a painted shell
  half-round colored and true
  From where he poked
  his head to view
  The things around him
  even the fox that stranger
  Out came his head eyes ready
  focused for danger.
  The birds would pick on his shell,
  ’twas very irritating
  They  would never even let
  him get some sleep,
  The bear and wolf would
  pick him up contemplating
  A quick supper
  they’d hope to reap.

• You died one day in your little round dish
  and my sister found you lying there
  when she came to feed you that morning.
  Your shell had softened, I believe.
  That can happen to little turtles,
  bought from the department store.
  I hope you didn’t hate your name too much.
  She just liked the sound of it, dear Bing.
  She never called you der Bingle.
  You were a quiet little pet
  and gave my sister pleasure.
  Now it’s your day.
  Hope somewhere you know that.

• I am a turtle
  I live in a shell
  through all the cold weather
  its treated me well
  I am a turtle
  I dont move very fast
  i walk down the path
  I see rabbits run past
  I am a turtle
  Im old and im wise
  I see a whole world
  out in front of my eyes
  I am a turtle
  Im happily green
  if you are a turtle you know what I mean
  I am a turtle

• A Turtle,
  So Green Was He,
  But Also Blue,
  Turquoise.
  A Turtle,
  So Nice Was He,
  But Also Mean,
  Turquoise.
  A Turtle,
  So Human Was He,
  But Also A Prisoner,
  Turquoise.
  A Turtle,
  So Free Was He,
  But Also A Shell,
  Turquoise.

• I am the Box Turtle,
  I shut you out,
  and sleep away in my shell,
  I am the Box Turtle,
  the only turtle who is safe from the world,
  the only turtle who can shut away the world,
  I am the Box Turtle,
  I’ll hid for life,
  behind the hinges that cover me,
  I am the Box Turtle,
  Who will slam my door,
  on you and the world,
  I am the Box Turtle,
  I can live my life in my shell,
  while you continue creating this hell,
  I am the Box Turtle,
  I will not fight,
  I will live in peace not war,
  I am the Box Turtle,
  I’ll  lock the ones who try and hurt me out,
  to try and survive these battles alone,
  I am the Box Turtle,
  inside my hinge like doors,
  I’ll be safe from the world,
  I am the Box Turtle,
  I must be safe from you,
  and any other fools.
  Box turtles  are cool,
  only turtle that can fully close
  its shell bc it has mini doors,
  I love em, they’re cute.

• Speeding along a curved road
  Eyes watching the asphalt’s twists and turns
  I happen upon a substantial rock
  Lying along the road on my course
  It takes a few seconds for me to realize
  That big brown rock isn’t what it seems
  The rock has a yellow neck, legs, a head and tail
  That beckon me to stop despite what lies ahead
  My reasoning forces me to ponder on it’s future
  Will the next car around the curve stop for this comrade
  Or will it be struck and left for dead?
  I put my car in park and hurry to pick it up
  One lonely turtle has found itself being removed
  From the path of oncoming vehicles
  Taken to the grassy side of the road
  Facing the opposite direction
  In hopes that it will find it’s way far from
  The impending danger of traffic
  Now, this one turtle has a better chance
  At living out it’s life at it’s own slow pace

• When you’re accustomed to darkness
  You’re used to monotony
  You’re used to redundance
  You’re used to nothing
  You hear of the outside world
  You hear of its joys
  You hear of its wonders
  You hear of its plights
  “Come on out” they say
  “We won’t hurt you”
  Little callings to show you something new
  Or is it just to hurt me?“What are friends? Do they bite?
  Is it edible? Is it necessary?”
  Questions I’m asking to seemingly no one
  But a voice keeps beckoning to me
  “Come out and see the wonders you miss
  The energy of human beings
  The warmth of the sun
  The beauty of the world”
  I’ve never been enticed this much before
  Closer and closer do I inch out
  My mind is saying “this is a bad idea”
  My gut is saying “can’t hurt to try”

• He made a request for dinner,
  the stock, I started to simmer.
  As my husband watched his T.V.,
  I gathered the herbs I’d need.
  A pinch of this and a tad of that.
  Then I went in search of the cat.
  I called hubby in for his meal,
  he sat down and began with zeal.
  But, soon he stopped and just stared,
  at his soup, which, I didn’t share.
  he scooped up a piece of the “meat”,
  then got up and ran from his seat.
  Over the retching, he did ask,
  “Why did you add the turtles’ ass?”
  It was then that I saw the light.
  I hadn’t quite heard him just right.
  I explained the big chunks of poop,
  I thought he had said Turtle soup.

• I had cried a sea of tears
  And began to drown.
  Trashing out, Unheard screams
  Bubbles filled my lungs.
  I long for safety and a home
  Not this empty black cavern that’s sinking very near.
  I look up out of desperation
  far above my  pain.
  And then black tears turn purple,
  indigo,
  aqua.
  I see a Turtle swimming near.
  The sea Turtle I’ve always wanted
  I reals all my fear.
  I float upward crowned in a bubbling glow
  My sea Turtle loves my bubbles.
  And away we go.
