Snakes
Snakes,
They live.
They eat,
They sleep,
They have sex…
And then they eat
And sleep
Some more.
And the majority
Of their lives
Are spent
Dreaming,
Because,
You see,
They need only eat
Once a month,
So…
They sleep.
And only in a while,
When they’re awake,
They fall in love…
But then they need to
Eat.
And they shed their
Skins,
And they kill some
Mice,
And they bed some
Pretty
Little
Thing…
But in the end,
They both go back to
Sleep.
And that is how
Snakes live.
And that is how
Snakes die.
And not once in that ordeal
Do they wonder about you.
No,
Because
Snakes are too
Self-absorbed…
Too distracted by
The sleep
And the food
And the sex…
Too consumed by their own
Desires.
And Snakes…
Well…
Snakes don’t care
About your personal
Problems.
