Contemplating a Slug

     Stopping to contemplate a slug
       I marveled at this taciturn bug

     Designed to live underground
       occasionally it is found 

     making its way ‘long a crosswalk
       using up half a day’s clock

     on its tortuous path homeward bound
       ~ never making one single sound
