a snake put its ass on the copier
the copier flashed at the snake's ass
the snake pinned the photocopy
of its ass in its cubicle
when other animals saw the snake's ass
they thought it was innapropriate
a bulldog looked at the snake's ass
it said, that is not an ass
it is only a hole
the snake said, climb in the hole
the bulldog walked away
he pushed his paws far into the carpet
no one ever talked to the snake
because to them the snake represented a problem
the problem was that of original sin
in the bathroom, while pissing next to the snake
the snow leopard thought secretly,
is this snake trying to tempt me?
is he trying to get me fired?
fired with his tiny asshole?
the bird that lived in the ceiling
swelled its throat to the size of a stress ball
no one saw this
the snake knew about it
he thought about it one day
while looking at his asshole

thought the snake,
to swell one's throat
one must eat what one can swallow
the snake stared into its asshole
nothing comes from nothing,
he thought
he swallowed the shit-talking bulldog
and choked
