The Snail Poem

You could live in a place like that

With a window

With a skylight

You could climb the Tower at night

To see the stars

To see the moonlight

You could have the things I have

A castle all your own

A secret sanctuary

Where no one else can go

Why do you hate the things that you don’t understand?

So if you wish to crush me

Feed my body to the weeds

I’ll find solace with the flowers

But you won’t ever find your peace
