Poem: "Back off Snakes (Not Falling)" by James Kenneth Blaylock

Back off Snakes (Not Falling)

tripping over the fabric
of time, but, not falling

too easily for any falsified
charms, back off snakes...

lest, I let my pet mongoose
out, by the way, he’s hungry

instead, I’ll wait, with my numb
thumbs, playing cosmic games
