Memoir of a Tank

I was born inside
This thing I cannot see

Under me earth crinkles
I twirl my turret
The way harmless things do
Jiggle my heavy cannon
Playful and silly

Laughter goes to dust
Slow motion eternity
Calm as calamity
No one else is playing

I know what I am
Expressions say it all

I roll on
Relief pools in my tracks

-T. Weeks
