i am redacted
but secretly
black stripes in the blind spots
& the snow
first welcome
becomes vertiginous
~
i block my ears
build a nest
tunnel my eyes
& unmet in unoffered middle ground
i fiddle with
the tiny things
in my tiny world
unproven between
the tetrapods
& hash browns
~
my compromised reach is compromised
& well aware
side effects
include compulsion
i keep my guard up
or is it down ?
either way
attacks are only paperwork
MI5 gave up long ago
