Cobra
By Bryan Thao Worra
The more I think about it,
The more I think
I'm going to name my first
Girl Cobra
Just to see how many
Will rush to kiss her
Expecting a belladonna flower
To explode in their mouth
Like a yellow cluster bomb
Everyone thought
Was a dud.
That's paternal instinct for you.
But I suspect I'm going to be
Overridden
By her mother,
Who loves all beautiful things.
