Life Accelerated
Someone shot a sloth-
in time-lapse photography
Descending a tree
with Charlie Chaplin movements
minus mustache,
its tail hooked over its arm like a walking stick
The eye never moved–
like a dancer's in pirouette,
sunlight flashing like a million paparazzi
Overcome by clouds-
a most un-sloth-like creature.
