Two rattlesnakes in Oklahoma rise to greet the walker.
"America is the Great Satan, the wounded snake."
- Ayatollah Khomeini
Beware of wounded snakes, Ayatollah Whomever.
Yang style Taijiquan has a movement called
"Snake Creeps Down"
followed by
"Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg"
(actually a knee kick to the face or chest,
sort of Muay Thai style).
That big rattlesnake creeping down can rise,
rise quickly,
rise powerfully,
despite its wounds,
and bite the head off the Ayatollah's chicken.
Was it not the Gadsden flag that features the rattlesnake
poised to strike, and says,
"Don't tread on me."
"A snake came to my water-trough
On a hot, hot day, and I in pyjamas for the heat
To drink there."
- D. H. Lawrence
Everything thirsts!
Some thrist for vengenace.
