JOURNEY OF THE TRIFFYDS

Photo by Mil, 1970

************************************
ARE THESE TRACKS…..OR?
************************************

Someone(s)...
on the journey of life...
passed this way.

Were they humans?
Were they lost?
Were they thirsty?

Oh, oh---Wylie, was here---
A farm boy...a friend,
Used to tracks of all kinds...
Saw my photo...

Said, "There's a little guy
over there in the lower right,
tagging along, trying to follow!"
(Thanks, Wylie!)

This photo...is so loaded
with metaphors, that
my metaphor meter tilted.

But since I took the picture,
Myself---with my trusty Rollei,
It can be anything
I want it to be...

It is actually a colony of
migrating Triffyds---
Lovable, cuddly, cute little furry
beings---Thirsty ones---searching
for water, and a better life.

The baby Triffyds, following
them, there to the right,
don't survive.

They seem to fall into
the cracks...

And are gone.
