his pet snake

it's hard
not to think people are off
their trolley
when they have a pet
snake,
or a pet lizard,
or a lobster, even.
a box turtle.
what the hell good are they?
is there cuddling,
is there a leash
to take them out for a walk.
do they listen
when you tell them
to sit?
no.
and the vet bills are crazy.
