A gift of 21st century

A serpent travels through the city..
Hisses every now and then..
the poisonous breath of
even more poisonous species..

Meandering through the narrow lanes
Engulfing the reflecting window panes.
It creeps back into it's deadhole
Where seldom survives any reasonable soul..

The city is awakening from its drooly dream..
With a thunderous penetrating skweeky scream..

The zealous ride comes to an end..
At a vertically downwards deceptive bend..
