Turtle Traps

 

Turtle Traps

 

..what did I want to say? nothing.

I want to finish this line & I

plan to gig out past High Rock

Step over that! damn..it's almost dark.

Look, I don't care about a frog

or a turtle's mouth, as far as that goes

they can keep breathing as they fry

& if you won't go, at least

don't hinder me, and yes, the moon

is full, nothing special, just a moon

and no, I don't see how

the river sleeps in a fog blanket

Don't talk crazy..do you see

my mosquito net..

Do you want to go or not?

You can carry the sack.

Look if anyone in these parts can find something in a full moon, it's you...this is a departure from your norm in terms of voice and perspective, and it's handled wonderfully. You do a fine job of creating a character, and you've captured the rhythms of speech perfectly. Awfully sure-footed for someone that's stepping out.

Poor turtles...
Do you really plan to eat them?
