I have been charmed from woven market caskets
followed flute cues in worlds of day rackets;
prepare for my bite; notice the hooded neck
my place in Hindu society: I am given respect.

The venom I carry is the prize of my charm
when the hood is not open, I'll do you no harm;
with the organ of Jacobsen, taste comes to mind
I size up prey as lenses determine my find.

A sense of hearing is conveyed to an inner ear,
lesser snakes and cobras are known to fear;
I can stand to the height of a full grown man
and spit in the eye, he will no longer command.

Charmed from woven baskets, at times defanged
I dance to the cues of the flutist gangs;
prepare for flight, notice the creasted neck
history of snake culture still hisses respect.

You had your day jousting with foils;
troubled spirits rest, squandered the spoils
Derobed at night,I will forever recoil
into my woven caskets,by the midnight oil.

Thanks Gentle,

People that are charmed might behaving similarly?..probably so!..that's why I took to the story of the snake!

Sy,

Can't say though I'm completely successful making analogies to the snake in humans.
