Certain serpents –
be sure! – are best met and addressed,
as it were, perpendicularly.
C’est à dit:
do not walk up, abrupt,
and confront them straight-backed
with the palpable proofs of their lack:
let your spine be an offhand surprise,
not a prod to attack,
not occasion for something
they’re likely
to find they despise.
Praise them for all of their morphing
amorphous and multiple
unending sizes.
Careful (with all of those esses)
that you do not spit on them.
Then, if you ask very nicely, they may
let you sit on them.
