Snakes Rising
Two rattlesnakes in Oklahoma rise to greet the walker.
“America is the Great Satan, the wounded Snake.”
- Ayatollah Khomeini
Beware of wounded snakes, Ayatollah Whomever.
“A snake came to my water-trough
On a hot, hot day, and I in pyjamas for the heat
To drink there.”
- D. H. Lawrence
Everything thirsts!
