And what if that slug knows more than you?

And what if that slug knows more than you

was data-centric,

with a PhD in astronomy,

from a liberal arts college, in Maine.

Was a poet, or an unpublished prose writer.

What if this evolutionary magician played tricks with you, danced, and was funny, and made more friends than you.

What if that slug were kinder than you.

was decent, and humble, and gentler than you.

Offered its joy and its time to you.

And basked in the sun and moonlights.

This slug, this oozing, sliminess who may or may not

know more than you.

Doesn’t even know you exist.

    Enjoying your writing as always Ruth, and as someone who shares her home with multiple slugs this resonates deeply!! May you be well, Laura

        Oh there are many creatures out in the garden too Ruth, but the slugs always find their way inside!
