I’m an Agent

I’m an Agent

Before the sedative kicks in
Two Poses– it becomes flat
then slippery

There was a jumpsuit
Travelers’ checks
Theatrical eye-makeup
Negative space

“We’re in a relationship,” she said 
“I’ve got your cigarette case”

RENDER ME 
RENDER ME
RENDER ME
RENDER ME
Against this terrible pink carpet!

She’ll finish her drink and walk out
You’ll stay a while, trussed as you are,
to contemplate these re-enactments
Her, creeping, frame to frame.
