i know some one who
dons the guise of a
suburban female human
she almost pulls it off
but i caught a glimpse
of her sly serpent eyes
i'm surely not mistaken
they are far too coldly
hypnotic to discount
i sometimes sense
she's about to shed
her sultry bourgeois skin
and with darting tongue
and steely purpose
strike to do me in
i think she thinks
i know....she's right
to think this way
i surely must take
the greatest care while
passing by her gate
it's likely she'll
just lay in wait there
in the higher grass
on the outer edge
of her manicured estate
and do what all
snakes do so well
just lay there in wait
the razor's edge of
her viper's glare
could slice through one
like a flash of fangs
if too long transfixed
upon that amber gaze
beware all those
who roam or wander
through the higher grass
out there beyond
our scaly lady's
manicured estate
before one knew
what bit them
it would already
be too late
