cobra


by bofa xesjum



the cobra is early

the hotel is empty

so is the grand stand

the rajah tells a joke

the adept returns with the trash

the blind queen smiles

and notes the king’s distress

mention of money irritates him

but losers always find apples

and the victims sip their wine

the judges open their wallets

and the sentries are out of excuses

nothing under the moon

belongs to the waitress approaching with her tray
