monday morning

the rattle
of the snake before it strikes
is fierce.
the coiled muscle
of his twined
knit body
ready to snap and bite,
the fangs exposed
wet
with venom,
staring at your leg,
and this is just
in the morning, before coffee
as you sit
at your desk
taking the first call
from an angry client.
