SNAIL TALE

As we creep towards the year's end ....


















THE SNAIL

Observe the slowly-creeping snail
who leaves behind his silver trail.
Each simple journey takes an age:
one short trip is a pilgrimage.

We watch him moving gingerly,
admire his dull tenacity.
He’ll get there in the end, he knows,
not poetry-in-motion, prose.

Fast Train is a Van Morrison song performed by the great Solomon Burke. Not many people can handle a Morrison song better than Van the Man, but, in this instance, Solomon does.
