The Galapagos Snake

Could it be? Could it be?
On the raspberry tree?
Under blue jays-a-chirping in all that is glee
ful? Slide over you first and then jump over me
On the casket still boxing Mohammed Ali?

Did I hear? Did I hear?
The Galapagos near
ing, rip rainbows from sky in unorganized smear
ing destroying the plants of ol' Farmer Frontier
And continuing next to devour his steer

Will it break? Will it take?
Or the trees, will it shake?
Will the children below us jolt sudden awake?
Say the future ahead us is no less opaque
Than the deep red-blue eyes
The Galapagos snake
