Wide Skull, Puffy JowlsSo-han places individual hand under my chin, the other flat against the back of my brain-pan and squeezes, gently; his sum of two units palms a calipers taking my measure-I'm clamped, my back slapped to the museum wall, my forehead just inches below the anaconda's propped-open jaws, eternally frozen in mid bite. The twenty five paw corpus, stuffed & mountained winds, sinuously, back upon itself and fills the whole wall panel. O my head's too wide to fit between those jowl say I, for all their touted skill to make tense balloonlike & engorge their loot . . . But So-han, who leads teams of huntsmans on bi-monthly treks to Guyana's condensed interior in pursuit of game bird spotted wildcats, swines baboons constrictor snakes to provide the Georgetown Zoo, pooh pooh my demurral. As he passes his palm above my most imposing cranium bumps, his voice flattens each bilge in turn: Big Snake has all the time in the world to wait for head bone to make soft up and collapse on their marrows. He and his mates while away muggy days hidden in the bush, stalking a Queen Anaconda and her nest brood whereupon they await the turn back of her prime Bull for capture. Queeny meanwhile, may preoccupy herself with adjusting the carcass of a just-strangled deer i a fullsize adult male say. She smooths flattens, levels & crumbles bone shafts, shrinks the dead deer in its hide. Spitting her acids from time to time, she'll melt the hard tissues to soft masses. As she stretches the limbs & haunches, the deer rearranges itself in its sack, all bulk dwindled to pancakes of flesh-and-bone mash, Our brain-pan that toughest nut to crack, is left for last. But it, too, spreads without into some fine amalgam of flat grist-in time, level her babes can swallow us whole.
