The Worst Venom Poem by Rob Knetsch

which venom is the worst?
oh no no no
not from any snake
or some exotic spider

the one spread through air?
traveling on the soundwaves
created by venomous mouths
but this is not the worst

the one created by ink and paper?
dormant but extremely potent
when absorbed through the eyes
but no longer the very worst

the worst is the one that spreads
around the world in milliseconds
