I Held a Snake

I held a snake, a yellow python to be exact a REALLY big, REALLY long snake banana yellow no it wasn't a fake one month ago down in Mexico skin felt just like a garden hose only bigger and snakier No one believed it but have pics as proof I would NEVER have done this in my youth as the tail wrapped gently around my wrist no utterance of a hiss I felt utter bliss this significance not to be dismissed could NEVER have done this in my youth would have fought nail and tooth Older equals bolder I guess needed to reach out of myself a test the rest of my will be an adventure no fears, no filters no censures while holding that python, I felt power and didn't shrink and cower but conquered---- ME -----
