She spits a vernacular of sordid contingency into my mouth

Such wiley precision, this cobra is a seducer

Medusa and I reduce her venomous expulsion to ignorance with

A mere slip of the tongue I am forked with indecision

Oh, serpent of the equivocal shed your skin

An animal in chains I am forbidden to sever these ties

This struggling, restrained beast pains the seducer

Medusa And I elude her venomous expulsions without effort

Shed your skin and behold these vibrations

Like an animal in chains
