snakes and ladders
hierarchy
prevalence
ambition
escalade
intercourse
solitude
vacuum
descent
hunger
anger
fear
aggression
bad credit loans
submission
hell breaks loose
game instructions:
snake bites pull you down
and you tremble in cold sweat
ladder accidents pull you down
breaking your legs and your morale
go up and down at will
if you can
talbot dillinger (Rome, GA, 1973)
