Snail
made self-sufficiency an art,
carrying his home
wherever he goes.
He is slow,
so that taken into consideration
he can stop for the night
in his own trailer.
Earthy brown for camouflage
he blends in easily
peeping out his antennae
exposing only the smallest part to see.
A hungry song thrush
is on a fence.
Beady eyes
look all around
ready to swoop down
smash the snail on his anville
and leave an empty shell.
