Entry 6 Half-Marathon 20.00 EU time — A Stroll

.

I watched a snail today

crawling on the garden path,

 

facing only forward,

looking neither left nor right.

 

It had a purpose,

its armoured house heavy,

 

its head bent and focused

as it inched its way

 

forward towards the lettuce,

the cabbage, the carrots,

 

the scattered leaves

in my untended garden,

 

the sluggish, sleeveless

afternoon of my retirement.
