the copperhead

it's innocent,
sinless
one might say.
without fault or anger.
there's not a vindictive
or malicious thought
in it's reptilian brain,
and yet,
you stand back
with brick and rake
in hand 
as it raises it's head 
with wet fangs.
it stares at a spot
on your leg,
what choice do
you have?
