Alligator Bites

She will hurt you
if you
put yourself in the water
with her,
if you
search for her,
if you
attempt to uncover
her madness,
and her desire to eat
your flesh.

She doesn't want that,
but she will
if
you act like a duck
or deer
or replaceable golf ball 
she gobbles
for fun because
she is bored and
it is there.

Back away and
do your
own thing,
and
she may eat your pet,
or swing your baby doll
around
like bacon on a hot stove,
but she won't get you
because she can't.

You are quick
and in-tune,
and
she will
grow
uninterested
in you
too.
