Apple Pie

Crackling Deceptive Engraging Inverno

Crackle Crackle Crackle

hate hate hate

Stay away from my heart
--the apple in my bossom--
Treacherous Worm, rankling Snake!

C h e w i n g...its way into my secrets
C h e w i n g...its way into my world

Easy now--easy.
My chambers are quite dense.

Bite Bite Bite

hate hate hate

So what did you find,
my little pet?
my goddamned devil,

am I your filthy little Eve?

Leak it all to me
and tell Adam,
tell GOD
What you took from me
and what secrets I hide

release it to the world
for all I goddamn care--
chomp your way
through my seething
bloodstream!

LO!
What's this?

No response,

and no BITING?


CRAP--my blood
killed the snake!!
