POETRY | Slowcoach by Anuradha Chelliah

POETRY | Slowcoach by Anuradha Chelliah

Share this article via


You
just moved
that much
so sluggish
I have done so much
from washing to cleaning
sweeping to mopping
and you are still moving
inch by inch.

Oh, you slowcoach
real slowcoach
but you are rather big
never seen a big one like you
small ones are easily crushed
accidentally or purposely
by the cunning and sly humans
who sometimes speak on
animal rights
but practice it
despairingly.
