The world moves slowly through 
time on the back of a turtle. That is
why we call it Turtle Island. 
Some say four elephants stand
on the turtle's back and old up the world.
I have never seen them, just the turtles.

Wrinkled necks, tough skin, flippered
feet, they swim through the 
ocean of space. Always
moving around the
sun. All of them, one beneath
the other, beneath the
other.
