The Futility of Turtles

One could interpret this straight-forwardly - mother psychotic, narrator sane, turtle real. On the other hand, each of these could be equally questioned, giving the reader other possibilities to imagine. In the end, we come back to the original and obvious meaning, but the imagination has been triggered. I like poems that entice that kind of exploration and thought. The metaphor is set up a bit formally, but it works very well.
Very impressive
