Thanks for the Help, but I’ll Take it From Here.
In through the nose, out through the mouth.
In through the nose, out through the mouth.
You wheeze in the ashes of the fallen
Arrows of white luminescence rains down on the battlefield as you prepare for the future
You’re spent, but can’t show it
If they know the extent of your fatigue:
You’re weak
30 seconds remain
2 timeouts
1 ball
The egg is with mommy bird
Not with you,
But to achieve victory
Like a snake, you must steal the bird’s egg
Hut!
Boom! Sack!
Still.
The ball is theirs.

“Coach, coach!”
“Coach?”
“Where the hell is coach? We need to call a timeout!”

17...
You spot him, back turned
Conversing with grass - already stuffed with eggs
Paying no attention to this game
“COACH!”
A tyrant.
A tyrant who demands hard work
Demands effort
Demands the use of his plans,
The king snake has disconnected from the battle in its final moments
At this moment, the respect you had towards him has vanished
13
12
11…
He is no king
He does not have true passion
You do not need his permission to lead
10

8...
You place your hands on top of one another
in the shape of a T
“Ref! Ref!”
The ref turns.
“Timeout.”
In through the nose, out through the mouth.
In through the nose, out through the mouth.
One last play to take the egg
He is weak.
I am strong.
I am the King Snake
