Slytherin

All
the 
world’s snakes
celebrate
the discovery,
Trimeresurus Salazar!

See 
the 
planet’s 
snakes sliding 
from hiding places
in our cars, gas stations, and stores. 

Snakes 
are 
shedding
disguises 
as drumsticks, long hair,
guitar necks, and microphone stands.

All 
the 
earth’s snakes 
boldly crawl,
eager to be seen
because they want to speak to us.
