Snake Slaying

I look down with proud on top of the clouds

Every minute

It is still there, going nowhere

Every moment

The dark, filthy swamp and the thing that lives inside

Every movement

The pale, rotten serpent stares back with familiar eye

Everytime I smile

The serpent laughs with agonizing screech

Every once in a while

The serpent whispers in a similar hollow pitch

Disgusting voice

It leaves me no choice

I jumped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But before I finally reached it

I realized that there was no swamp

It's just a mirror

And I crashed smiling.
