It Happens
A snail is publishing its trail.
On the bricks a beetle rises and falls.
Another great man died today,
tomorrow will live without him.
I may have to run harder
to catch up.
No one wants poetry
but it keeps coming in
like oil on a high tide.
I go for a long walk
the beetle is climbing again.
