The Tortoise Doesn’t Win on Speed
My evident survival, both
emotional and physical,
results from preparation and
acceptance with as good a grace
as practice can facilitate.
When losing jobs, to explicate,
past saving soothes a loss of face
before each geek or soldier band
who know it’s all political
by management they also loathe.
As for affection others clothe
in sentiments romantical,
eternal, plighting heart and hand,
I know my passions’ racing pace—
soon over, I pre-abdicate.
Does my survival implicate
a frigid heart, a carapace,
emotions sealed and coldly planned?
Perhaps they’re not inimical
to satisfying life and growth.
