Good thing I’m a snake like you,
the untouchable
should keep your question.
I did say yes.
Too bad. I would have kept my answer.
Now—you have your dark haired beauty and I have mine.
Now—you might find sour bombs in your sandwich,
in your beloved hamburger helper.
Your gun:
Might find its way to my chest.
Lose the beer.
Lose the black duck.
Just keep your tattoo--
your opinions to yourself
And love—don’t lose your heat.

Holly Nichole Smith is an English student at the University of North Georgia and is treasurer of Sigma Tau Delta. She plans to continue her education in Literature and Gender Studies and one day be a professor of English. Her work has been featured in The Chestatee Review and S/tick. She has learned to let whatever comes into her head come out on paper. She loves drawing inspiration from the things people around her say and do. If someone says something that sticks it will probably lead to her creating a poem out of it. She writes down whatever makes her happy and makes her feel alive and hopes that it will have the same effect on others.
