Another from my teenage notebook:
A snake that wraps
it’s slimy body
around your
good intentions.
It has a bite
that transmits itself
into the other person.
How to ward off
it’s terrible grip?
Best to stand still
heart, bite your lip.
Best not to move
or show when you’re
in it’s grasp,
though your eyes
are green and all
around…
and it’s eating up your heart!
