a slug moves across
the flat rock leaving a thin
wet line behind it

Watching The End Of The World From The Diner
Introduction I am not sure how to approach this. Guy Peellaert was an amazing artist who created iconic fantasy images of famous people, usually musicians or politicians, as well as creating commissioned album covers such as "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" by The Rolling Stones and David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" which you can read more about below.

Clever haiku!🤗
You captured this moment perfectly. Fantastic entry!!
Genius!
Wait, where’s its shell? That snail is naked (or a slug), and ooh, stepping on one barefoot is worse than (though not as painful as) a leggo.
