Napus Interruptus

  Napus Interruptus


  

Hard to say
who
was more surprised – 

that startled turtle I snapped
from his afternoon nap, or me
finding him suddenly beside me,
befuddled,
descried snoozing 
out cold on a lily pad
as I paddled slowly by.  And yet,

still too swift
to be captured by my camera 

he left behind
only this meager, worth-
less poem.
