Desolation within the mind of the Chameleon
Mutes his skills to drab earth tones
As he skitters about absent mindedly
Where his heat signature is caught
By pit vipers inconsolable infra red
Seeking his target with high tech array
He preemptively strikes with wisdom
Carried in ancient genetic mutation
His multi tasking venom pumps in
Relieving the Chameleon of life's burden
While a howler monkey watches intently
With excited detachment he howls aloud
His warning cutting through the damp air
But too late for our Chameleon
As the viper empties his victims pockets
And slowly walks down the dark alley
Into the glow of night in the city
