ON BEING A SLUG

In a world gone nuts,
two gastropods
are intertwined breeding,
sliding on a string of snot.
Slick snot.

They are in no hurry
to be right or wrong
in the way they do it;
rappel that is.

The mollusks are
of one mind.
Just working
at getting
where they’re going.

There truly is no rush.
Just be a slug
and we’ll get there.
Wherever our there is.
