"a Snake"

A creeping snake that crosses my path... Slithers side to side with evil and wrath.. I sit coy and wait for my chance.. To cross this road and hold my stance.. With silence and deceit he glides past me.. My eyes follow as I am soon to be free.. Out of sight he goes without a sound.. Now the air is clear and safe is the town.. I push my chair back in and wait for another.. Because in this work place we are in, they're not your brother..

this could be talking about evil people and not just snakes. I know about the work place and I think it must be the two legged kind! good one. Luv, Andrea
