Emily Dickinson was a lonely woman who spent her life inside her whole life writing poems. This poem, "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass", she is writing about how she hasn't had any relationships with a guy. The snake represents how her relationships come and go in a flash. At the end of the poem it says, "Zero at the Bone". That means that every time she goes deeper in her relationship, it seems to disappear.
