With apologies to the snake, an animal of which I am deeply fond.
snake
shedding your hated skin
at long-awaited last
bursting from the wreckage
in all your wretched new glory
every muscle a-shiver
under the hideous pattern
you designed in your dreams
in your fantasy you've removed
a mask
to reveal a magician
would that you had remained
behind your curtain
and spared us all the sight
of a fool

How the Sausage is Made
did you feel powerfulsnake
shedding your hated skin
at long-awaited last
bursting from the wreckage
in all your wretched new glory
every muscle a-shiver
under the hideous pattern
you designed in your dreams
in your fantasy you've removed
a mask
to reveal a magician
would that you had remained
behind your curtain
and spared us all the sight
of a fool
