Effing Turtles...

 I was rolling and carrying on when I saw a frantic man crossing the street back and forth while waving his hands in the air, signalling for me to stop.

'Oh, boy. Here we go. Let's see what this guy wants,' I thought as I rolled up my window.

I cruised up, barely touching the gas, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw his face.

"Watch out for the turtl,"  He yelped as he was beaming, smiling from ear to ear.

I looked down as the precious green turtle the size of a child's fist steadily made its way over a curb, trying to escape this lunatic almost as fast as the mailman can.  Effing turtles...they're stopping me for turtles...

The Noives

 I look around

and see the clutter

and realize what a mess my life has become.

So, I cringe

and I despair

and I instantly sow the seeds of repair.

But, in my haste,

I spread myself too thin,

A little here, a little there,

And very soon, too soon,

I've begun unfinished projects everywhere.

Only then, 

does the cycle continue

because

then, and always then,

I look around

and see the clutter

and realize what a mess my life has become.

Anything

 I'm trying to get back into writing...knowing myself, this oughta last a week

2020...ugh

 Seriously though, what the fuck was that?
