(on game theory)
there are hawks and there are doves
but I’ve always liked tortoises
because of their stoic determination
and that story about the race—
I see hares everyday
at the grocery store
at the gas station
frantically scratching lotto tickets
guzzling coffee and filling tanks
screeching and wheeling like gulls at a landfill
all hastening to the same grave—
so a tortoise I’ll be
trudging along in my armor
all soft tissue and organs on the inside
just trying to get through life
and avoid the next car
