achilles

 


    in the morning breeze
    achilles shouted
    i'll catch you
    and light on his feet
    in the blink of an eye
    approached the cheetah

    the cheetah smirked at achilles
    morphed into a horse
    and went away

    not too far

    it was noon by now

    achilles shouted
    i'll catch you
    and soon crowded the horse

    the horse smirked at achilles
    morphed into a cow
    and went away

    not too far

    it was hot afternoon by now

    achilles shouted
    i'll catch you
    and soon reached the cow

    the cow mooed at achilles
    morphed into a turtle
    and went away

    not too far

    the sun was setting

    achilles shouted
    i'll catch you
    and soon approached the turtle

    the turtle smirked at achilles
    morphed into a snail
    and went away

    not too far

    it was late in the night by now
    achilles sighed
    i am making progress
    years from now
    one day i may catch you
