serpentine fever
the continent it strikes
again
now its gone
but like the serpent
its only recoiling
give it
moments
decades
give it
consciousness and dreams
give it all it
isn't and all that
it seems
its deadly yes
its intoxicating maybe
if i said yes i
would not be intoxicated
i am fully alive
at least i think so but
that is what i paid for,
YES?
