Not Fast Food

















Snails are slow
their trails highlighted in silver
maps of their travels
left for others to follow
or to avoid, because food
in the area will be devoured.

Shells of their former selves
will lay littered on the sidewalk
while other snails can be found
hidden in the shade of the leaves.

They may not move or eat fast
but they come in great numbers
their destruction complete
no harvest for those
who compete for the same resources.
