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.
