element: earth

 "A man is at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. A few years later there’s a knock on the door. He opens it and sees the same snail. The snail says: ‘What the hell was that all about?'" Anonymous

. . .  and it all comes to pass 

slow as a snail after fifty - two

- three - four - it will not 

matter at all: intellect a knife 

identity the hand: and boy did 

we muck it up or did we muck

it up - it will not matter at all 

our life spans should be shorter 

or we should be allowed to remember it all
