i’ve never been here before
so i apologize that i sift like a snake
who realized it didn’t have legs
but could’ve
and sometimes feels like it does
with leftover limbs
that lead me to a different now now
that i am sure is great if i can just stop
and hear what is being said
but there was that thing long ago
maybe when i was still a snake
still thinking about my feet wiggling
plopping off like gloves
which would be nice too have to
if i had hands
to hold that women who said
how lucky she was to have me
and i wanted to say something just as just
but she darted her tongue in my mouth
like a snake
my mouth is dry now
i need water
how can i feel like i am drowning
i get up with legs that are weaker than my heart
when someone somewhere says
can you sit down
their lips are red
full
delicious
flashing consumption
that’ll never be again
