"Becoming"

create a poem in a language that does not exist, and build a world. Then, become a character in that world.

This report is a rough creation process! not in any way final work. I am tasked to become a character from my own world. Though my creatures aren't exactly "snails", they share a lot of similarities, with the only super noticable difference being their intelligence and sentience. I've travelled to Zwolle's ArtEZ university building to meet up with an ex I hadn't seen in a year.
The place is peaceful and lonesome.
The ex loves snails.
I feel these are perfect conditions.

Pt. 1 - whats the deal with snails?

Snails are kinda weird as a creature. they have one big "foot" that moves them along the ground.
