Just Before Breakfast
Jeff Gray
There was a snake
He says
A snake and an eight ball
Its limbless torso slowly rolls as it swallows its lunch of blackened ivory
. . . and a girl
He says
with a wooden arm
She only dates carpenters
She hates termites
. . . and you wanna know the funniest thing
He asks as I slide into my slippers
The best part is I'm cool with all this
I just sit back in my chaise lounge
and strum my guitar
They say he was a six string slinger
Fastest pick in Wixom
That is until the accident took his hands
. . . the damndest thing
