Inside

Daily

I notice you scream

At my terrible looks

Fell you hit me

With a dull end

Of a large stick

You call animal control

Capture me in a box

A big box shaped

Like a dark room

And drive me away

Lucky for me

I’m nocturnal

And

Your hatred

Is someone else’s love

For I am a snake

And the skin of me

Feels better

Than you know
