life with my head down

i live my life with my head down.
not held down
well not so much these days
its more of  a deffensive posture
the permanent duck of one used to dodging
crap
i resemble not so much the human im reputed to be
as i do the little box turle that only pokes its out out briefly
i used to know a guy that would find them
put them on the road wait for them to feel safe and
WHAM 
smash thier heads with a stick
im the turtle waiting for the squish
