a snake having itself by the tail

26 08 2010

Not too uncommon an image
Though misleading in that no self-respecting
gopher snake would mistake his own tail
for that of a tasty Crotalus
Though every time we start to look
the evidence is clear that, yes
it is a recurring infection
Chronic and implicit
I place my tail in my mouth and begin to chew
the history spilling down my chin with every bite
