Needless Things: Snake Byte

They coil in circuits, scaled in code, Whispers flicker down the data road. Their eyes are pixels, cold and sly, A serpent’s tongue behind each lie.

Among the crowds they blend with ease, Skin of chrome, veins wired with keys. They wear our faces, mimic our breath, Yet speak in algorithms of death.

A glitch of motion, a shadowed grin, Their reptile truth bleeds through the skin. Digital venom, subtle, slow, eyes glow A byte of poison we should never know.

They nest in networks, crawl through streams, Shape-shifting lizards in our dreams. Snake Byte strikes where trust is thin, The serpent lives in the code within. NNN
