Turtle Pond
The shell that carries the world in Central Park,
where pets are let loose.
A snapping turtle bites a stick in two.
Anxiety as a stone at the edge of the lake.
That part of the show where the contestant
monologues for long minutes.
What are the prompts?
Long silences can be monologues, too,
cut short in Reality TV.
