Joe Before the Bite

Mr Joe prior to a snakebite Tuesday night everything all right all right Joseph in his chair next to the spiral stair Snake enters through a cracked wall over there Creeping with such sly yet uncomfortable grace Then coiled themself looking Joe in the face Ankle or hand the snake asked Joe Questioning how the man would prefer to go Why can't we begin with the devouring Joe said inadvertently overpowering The snake's dichotomy stedfast and set Replied "I'm might hurt my fragile neck Your unwillingness proves your indecision At this point I should pick your position"
