On he goes the little one	A
Bud of the universe	B
Pediment of life	C
Setting off somewhere apparently	D
Whither away brisk egg	E
	-
His mother deposited him on the soil as if he were no more than droppings	F
And now he scuffles tinily past her as if she were an old rusty tin	G
	-
A mere obstacle	H
He veers round the slow great mound of her	I
Tortoises always foresee obstacles	J
	-
It is no use my saying to him in an emotional voice	K
This is your Mother she laid you when you were an egg	E
	-
He does not even trouble to answer Woman what have I to do with thee	D
He wearily looks the other way	L
And she even more wearily looks another way still	M
Each with the utmost apathy	D
Incognisant	N
Unaware	O
Nothing	P
	-
As for papa	Q
He snaps when I offer him his offspring	P
Just as he snaps when I poke a bit of stick at him	R
Because he is irascible this morning an irascible tortoise	S
Being touched with love and devoid of fatherliness	S
	-
Father and mother	I
And three little brothers	S
And all rambling aimless like little perambulating pebbles scattered in the garden	A
Not knowing each other from bits of earth or old tins	S
	-
Except that papa and mama are old acquaintances of course	S
Though family feeling there is none not even the beginnings	S
	-
Fatherless motherless brotherless sisterless	S
Little tortoise	S
	-
Row on then small pebble	H
Over the clods of the autumn wind chilled sunshine	T
Young gaiety	N
	-
Does he look for a companion	A
	-
No no don't think it	N
He doesn't know he is alone	U
Isolation is his birthright	N
This atom	V
	-
To row forward and reach himself tall on spiny toes	S
To travel to burrow into a little loose earth afraid of the night	N
To crop a little substance	S
To move and to be quite sure that he is moving	P
Basta	N
To be a tortoise	S
Think of it in a garden of inert clods	S
A brisk brindled little tortoise all to himself	W
Adam	V
	-
In a garden of pebbles and insects	S
To roam and feel the slow heart beat	N
Tortoise wise the first bell sounding	P
From the warm blood in the dark creation morning	P
	-
Moving and being himself	W
Slow and unquestioned	N
And inordinately there O stoic	X
Wandering in the slow triumph of his own existence	S
Ringing the soundless bell of his presence in chaos	S
And biting the frail grass arrogantly	D
Decidedly arrogantly	D
