Snakes

Look at here 

And what a way we are:

Interlocking scales

Interwoven tissues

Plied into arrangement 

Of the preening king and queen

And at what a way we dive

Splitting seconds

Slashing instant

Breaching the fore

To foray feeling from our mouths

To deliver venom like treason

Of the self 

Of anything else but the other

And at what a ways we stab us senseless 

Despite a heinous crowd of onlookers

And good-lookers 

And thieves and witches and wives

And wonderers

And at what a way we take

Each other
