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.

28

27...


“Coach, coach!”

“Coach?”


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


19

18

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

9

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
