A Tortoise

A  Tortoise
By Stina Lu 


You keep silent,
In all seasons.
Like the Buddist, 
Meditating 

Even your breath
seems redundant.
You reject everything
 Food or water.

Your are blind
Smell the direction and danger
You desire for nothing 
Not care life or death 

You're Diogenes,
Stand in Plato's Utopia.
You represent the beauty and justice of Socrates,
Your shadow is the absolute Geist of Hegel.

You're a little philosopher
On my balcony
