python

did you hear about the python
that fell into a hole

in a pet shop, 

that python was on parole
but he didn't want to fall into a hole
(it just happened)
he landed on the floor, 

spooked

he hadn't a chance to regroup

he just clung to them

onto the necks of two small human people

two boys, strangling

and quietly it slipped away, 

-the future and they died-

the two young brothers, sons

of the pet shop owners best mate, 

life can take

-everything away-

in the mere blink of an eye

-rest in peace-
