There is danger when snakes team up in managing your money,
but holding food in other currencies is every bit as risky.
It comes to what's happening now in Bat Caves:

The reptiles coordinate their investments outside the chase,
not hunting for assets in the slithery bedlam.
According to the Snakes Francisco Examiner,

the opening of Tennessee to the Cuban Boa was magnificent,
but it failed to capture the golden exclamation points.
(There was only the one boa.)

World In Itself

I was having lunch on the width of the Internet.
I only know the cinematic Earth
and the captive words that describe it.

Balloons gravitating to kindergarten,
the steward of human pressure and handpicked dust,
larger than a ring of Saturn.

Famous for its existence projects, it is made up mostly
of invisible hair from an ambitious spacecraft
and the afternoon buzzing of a phoebe.

Those Plucky Ambiguities

An ambiguity is a funny truism,
in that its deconvolution is eloquently unknowable.
Just study this: What lives on pablum,

can't smell color, evades horizons,
could win a plurality of the unpopular votes,
and according to a spy on Earth,

you usually see it playing baseball with real orioles?
And by the way, when is an enigma not enigmatic?
When it's a riddle.
