I am scared of Anaconda Girl with
her green leaf snake
charming the others silent but
I will keep writing
hidden behind Humpty she
slithers our conscious with
a hiss hiss hiss
of viperous duplication
Anaconda Girl silences a room
demanding
and weaving a
leaf trailing black mambo
with a
slitherene
flickering
expectation
and with a single note
she has put me in
the basket
