Advice From a Sloth

sloth, advice

Sleep. Move to the next tree. Eat.

Onto the next tree. Sleep. Next.

Moving slowly from limb to limb,

arms growing ever stronger.

Yet all we’re known for is.

Sleep. Eat. Next tree. 

The canopy, a utopia, 

harbours the home.

Where we. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

Growing green, hide. Hide. Hide.

We will not be found.

despite the cover,

we are more than we seem.

Stronger and stronger every 

second, minute, hour, day.

Yet, no matter what happens,

we still. Eat. Sleep. Move. 

Repeat.
