to be not a barnacle
walking away down the dock I notice the barnacles clinging to the piles at low tide https://pxhere.com/en/photo/917607 that’s their life clinging sending out little flowery legs to eat what floats by never moving dependent on the tide the whims of storm and baking sun I won't be a barnacle stuck on a dock accepting your lot as my life so I’m walking away ©2020 Lisa Smith Nelson.
