Snake in the grass
slides stealthily
slippery through
the dry
c u d
r s e
h
leaves
slithering its way
secretly 'round
through the red forest
with red leaves
and red trees
and red tape
He slithers quietly
Creeps and crawls
on his belly
so
l
o
w
through Ferguson
he slides
Scraping the scab
of a fresh, infected wound
Stinging it
with his tail
his tongue
Snake in the grass
Slides smoothly
into Texas
Hex us Vex us
Nexus Correct us
to the cusp of reason
the the edge of insanity
Siphoning tight
in the barrel of their guns
salivating at the fresh prey
crawling in the distance
He's not so different
from you and I
He's just like us
