Have You the Time?
In a rush?
Is your primal brain engaged?
Looking for THE Time?
No clocks
Just a screen
Decorated with Your flag
And flashing yellow text
It reads
IMPORTANT MESSSAGE
*Heightened Security*
If you see any unusual activity
or unattended bags, report
it immediately using a white
courtesy phone.
And yet I have sat in restricted areas
and forgot my bags
for long periods of time
on accident, maybe
but nobody ever mentioned it as suspicious
Indeed, that message is only there
in an environment that is institutionally late
so close to the time
by terrorists and reptiles
to work fears of terrorism
into the reptilian parts of your mind
we are all one
You would have been the last person I suspected to buy into the Snakes on a Plane hype...yet you write a poem about it? I am impressed.
You know trose, you are the person I wanted to comment on my "poems" ;)
Thanks for that :)
