Stopping to Admire a Snail

How fascinating a creature he was.
Here myself sufficiently aged, I realized I had never seen,
or at least, never stopped to observe a snail.
He paid no attention to me; however, another did.
Two individuals now stopped to admire a snail. Coincidence?
All I can say is this - at the end of the mutual on-looking,
I had rather wished to be the snail-
able to ignore the unsolicited attention of a stranger.
