By M. Satai

I think I may be an agent

your organization.

I have gathered reports

that might be of interest to you.

I have warded these reports

to other agencies.

They have politely declined

any knowledge of me.

They seem somewhat alarmed

at what I have to say.

They don’t say so right out

It’s the tone you use

when talking to a crazy person.

I bought a new jaguar knife

yesterday afternoon.

There’s a guy named Floyd

coming up the coast

at over 80 mph.

He is supposed to be one

bad-ass dude.

He’s already bending the trees

and flooding all the roads.

I think he’s taken out a house or two.

But I’m readyhim.

I’m on my way to a mailbox.

I’ve lit a candle and I’m barely breathing.

I’ll waityour response.
