Spontaneous.
Illusion.
Magic.
Waiting for flies,
worms, and
grasshoppers.
Scared.
Worried.
Intimidated.
Fast--like a car.
Color changes
brown.
Slithers by,
then away.
Didn’t notice its prey.
Relieved.
Satisfied.
At ease.
Slowly and carefully.
Boom.
Now green.
Walking
slowly. Waiting for flies,
worms, and grasshoppers.
Spontaneous.
Illusion.
Magic.
