Slipping

Sliding

Wiggling out of my grasp

Slithering

Without so much as a breath

Wasted.

I

Originally

Thought of you as serpentine

Clever

Cunning

Silent in action

Hissing in retribution.

But I forgot

Of the electric

Fizzling energy

That courses through your veins

Rendering your opponent

Shocked

And electrocuted.

You shoot through murky waters

Unseen

Undetected

Only being noticed

When it's too late.
