Apathy

 

I

Am a

Five-toed sloth

Contemplating

Cobalt sky above.

Deadfall jungle floor spreads

In reverse pamoramic

Beneath my great hairy backside.

Procrastinating dirt collects in

Cracks on the surface of this sleeping skin;

As ivory talons take root, thrust

Deep into petrifying branch.

Kangaroo pouch life.

Safe.
