two newborn garter snakes slither
like placeless rivers in concert
through the dancing delphiniums
they find their way–
God only knows how and to where–
through the foreboding snapdragons
then
disappear into thin air
an alien abduction maybe
but gone in any case
the rest of the day
while not over
seems to limp in the direction
of where the tiny snakes
exited the universe
