My Childhood Turtle Named Turtle

The first pain I know
Was as I ran fast with
Extreme  excitement
Into a sliding door

Exuberant Infantile
Joy to Feed Turtle

Immediately tons
Of aid, attention.


A truth of mine

I slammed into
A few doors
Since, with
The heft and
Momentum
Of a Prime
Man in his

Prime age
Toward a
Prime joy

Physical
Not yet
Mental

SLAM

 Much as

The trajectory
Of my foxhound
For her food as
I unleash her:

Torpedo Science
Could I’m sure
Learn something
From her speed
And flow to the
Full food bowl.


Navigating
My amplified
Excited eating
Excited feeding

Seems simple as
Making sure to
Slide the door
In suave fast
Dancing
Manner



Simple

Yet expansive in all
Now
