Pallet Walk
Forklift tongue ...
snaky false pallet walk
be a paralyzing pulse dead stop
Viper lung flung from the bottom rung,
slithering slyly to the bury top
Pentagram aborted delivery —
Fake salvation
is morgue bad news
bifurcated breath received
Cottonmouth spitting graveyard shifty
labor blues,
Exhaling extortion sin wage scale dues
Forklift tongue
belly rolls across a serpentine cargo corpse bay
Anaconda pallet walk
got a hangman’s boa rope choke swinging sway
