you can't see me
I'm invisible
but if you see
through the grass
then first you'll be
hypnotized by my eyes
yellow
and diamond
come stay
you may
I'll craw around you
observing
you look nice
but you're just a mice
Do you care?
Shall I spare
you?

so I bite
like a knife
but as gentle as I can
cause you're my friend after all

I bite
with two long teeth
down through your feet

I bite
but only if you want to return
like a 'home run'
fast as death
speed with breath

just say my name

"Snake"

and say the word

"bite"

I be there...
"It is lonely when you're among people too."
--The snake
--- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince
