SUMMER Poem: Under Me, by Allison Grundy

Under Me
I almost didn’t notice the snake
Slithering in the water beneath my feet
As I read on the pier, legs dangling
Towel under me, still damp from yesterday’s swim
If I hadn’t noticed this snake
Would I have seen the second?
The water ripples as it passes
Head above the water, watching
It leaves me wondering
What’s next?
