No "no entry"

No "no entry"

In a deserted sole

of a wasted shoe

a snail can find its home.

It can begin anew.

Have you learned something from

the snail on the subject

of ownership, mon amie?

A little brat of sun

plays upon your open

palm. Look, every signs of

"no entry" are dissolving.

Hello :o),

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,000 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.

With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)

As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
