He talked to me
I listened
Then he circled around me
And bit my neck

In every apple garden
There can be a harmless snake
Crawling into the shade
We spot him
Like the sun does
When we’re hiding from it at the seaside

The wind blows through the red poppies
Giving them away

Red shoes are not allowed
In the church
Birds are not allowed
In cages
Snakes are allowed
In pharmacies
We need them
When we do not know
A foreign language

In our modern times
Fainting is not permitted
At every step
And knowledge
Is a must.
