Confession


from the ABC set Atlas

My passport is plump with intention
I hand it to the guard
and wait

wait longer.
He understands everything
efficiently. But he doesn’t know

what I am thinking about his overgrown
moustache. It doesn’t say anything
about the time

I said nothing
When a shop assistant
gave me too much change

or shoved a broach in my pocket.
There, I’ve said it.
I’m in now.

What will you do with me?
