Foolish Snail

the snail that slides
across beveled glass
never suspected
the other

the object
of its gaze
was a reflection

instead it reflects
that the splendid
simulacrum
is a better snail

a luckier one

that dwells
in an alternate
world
of such sinister
sense
that each being
there

dines on tasty leaves

brandishes brave
shell of pink coral

and slogs
on sweet slime
that shines
silver
as it smooths
the roughest
road
