on saturday
in the basement
opening
the door to the furnace room
fwuump
(the sound of a snake falling on my head)
the rest
was not silence
(but somehow we both survive)

 

on sunday
the road
the lure of warm gravel
a six-footer
luckily
of contrasting color
stretches out
six feet
of no feet
as the car
slides in the gravel
barely stops
and Pat jumps out
grabbing a branch
trying
to get it off the road
just a nudge
should get it to move
yep
it hisses and jerks into a coil
fast
faster than she can jump
snakes
i say
remembering some TV program
can strike their length
Pat
gets a seven foot branch
