the nose snail – Poem

the nose snail - Poem
Wendy Brannon

“This isn’t thinking club. You’ve been thinking too long.”

So what, buddy? What if I

Want to think? 

Except I keep going back to snails. Reminds me of

My childhood. 

I was told once, “You know, there’s a snail in your nose.

It makes the mucus that drips out. And,

It’ll bite off your fingers, if you stick them in.”

Scary stuff. Do I want to keep thinking?

Slow thoughts. Like a

Snail.

I keep going back to snails.

Maybe I have been thinking

Too long.
