They just need time to figure out

where to crawl...

And do you remember the fairy tale

about the Garter Snake Prince—

don’t touch, or harm him...

And don’t pull off or burn

anyone else’s skin! The winds will hiss,

and lightning bolts will coil.

The body,

discarding its spirit, will plunge into a black paradise.
