Naive Eve and the Snake

Eve to Snake:

"To see the world you must
first taste the forbidden fruit,"
she says,
"You have not truly lived until you do,
you must know all and be known to all,
to everyone, and everything, to be truly free
You must show that you are fierce and bear teeth
flail your arms wildly in the air, fists closed
as a warning so others stay away
Then you may shove as much as you can fit into your mouth
before you have to flee.."

Snake to Eve:

"But all is here is not truly here,
and all that does not exist-exists.
I move in silence as not to be seen,
so I see all, I feel all
observing everything around me
unnoticed.
Never underestimate
the power of underestimation,
He tells her...

sshhh.....
I'm about to strike!
They will reel by the sheer pain
and shock of a precise hit
Blinded, It catches them by surprise
With their backs turned I will eat freely
..and watch as they blame you for it."
