Pythons

by Nathan Niederkorn

I would like to be a snake slithering through

the grass, ssss.  The snake says ssss

through the grass.  I love snakes.

But snakes smell gross and are slimy, but fast.

I can see their scales and their eyes.

But they are kind of gross--

let's say I kind of like snakes

and are one of my favorite animals.

They move curly, then bend with some things,

snakes.
