Notes About The Poem

In fashion (and politics) one day you're in... and the next day you're out.


 

The Agent

Mad kings are sly devils, 
and like math homework,
they’re hard to get rid of.

Like ex-boyfriends they
waltz the line of patience
with dawdling acknowledgements
and sluggish departures.

You find yourself the airline 
agent, “Sorry sir, your departure 
is booked and ticket printed - 
please proceed to the gate."
