snake dinner

it tastes
like chicken
she says,
eating
a plate
of rattlesnake
with small
potatoes
and asparagus.
pass me the mint
jelly. thanks.
a little
gamey perhaps,
but not bad.
not bad at all.
i think i'll
have me another
helping.
suddenly
she sticks
her split tongue
out, and hisses.
baring
what appears
to be needle sharp
fangs. her
eyes get beady
as her neck
stretches
ready to
strike.
quickly you
get the rake.
