ON THE LINE

 








Success was often followed by a long drawn out ambiguous
Campaign. There is no reason why this should not be so. It
Just is. The Jesuits the technicians on the line in the bad bath

Surgical amphitheatre told another tale and I shall (try to)
Show (below) why the terms and premises of such a debate
Are suspicious. The stink of auctoritas; an impeccable

Asphaltum backing smeared  parallel to the silver nitrate’s
Smooth faced reflection out of position, mad against the ice
Cream air; or perhaps your sneaking through these Edo streets

Just enough outside/just enough inside the borrowed dwelling: 
Their caresses undisturbed by the footfall of a stranger,
Touching the food with the tips of their fingers and going away.  

There may be something else that always might not be very satisfactory:
The dauntlessness of the spy thereby rendered imperfect at last.
