Wallpaper
----------------
Wall-mounted wallpaper-

Poisonous snakes are running with mongooses

mongooses's breathing horrorscript
The urge to live is measuring life
The trap of tthe snake's hood

mongooses is running-

After going some distance, mongooses
became stiff

hood's blade smashed in counter-attack
The snake fell off
mongooses's tail glows with courage

The venomous snake continues to
recite compromise poems
The poisonous snake continues to
recite love poems

mongooses calms down and raises the tail
The snake is playing with the mongooses's tail

I look at the wallpaper with disinterested eyes-
Such wallpapers teach people to compromise
Teaches love
Teaches to stand in danger
