The Terrapin

The terrapin and his house are one.

Though he may go, he’s never gone.

He’s housed within, from nose to toe:

A door, a floor, and no window.

There’s little room; the light is dim;

His furniture is only him.

He sits alone, says naught aloud;

Where no guest comes, a thought’s a shout.

He pokes along; he’s in no haste;

He has no map and no suitcase;

He has no worries, and no woes,

For where he is is where he goes.

Ponder this wonder under his dome.

Who, wandering, is always home.
