Hunger

I saw the rattle snakes, cobras and anacondas slithering in-between my toes but not of them bit but off of my flesh or bite me at all the field of Green was greener then I thought It would be more fresher and safe then I thought I would be. I saw fresh fruit dangling of trees off like crystal diamond chandeliers in ball rooms of fancy mansions and restaurants Big, glossy fruits, luring me in to take a taste Mangoes, coconuts, apples and oranges with tangerines too watering in my mouth for the burning desire to eat them all I opened my mouth with hunger, wondering in my drifting thoughts where I would go next I know I was free and the snakes vanished, what now?
