A ransom note
is written on my face
I can read it
in the mirror, backwards,
and It states, "If you can see this,
demands must be met,"
and then,"or else."
but only in so many words.
It scares the shit out of me
As if a device is
hugging me
beneath my shirt;
strapped around my chest
with a singular objective
and, at my emptiest,
I understand most clearly
the threat is not.
No one
[Neighbor;
Waitress;
Store cashier;
Even the ones
who look at me]
reacts in any way.
Maybe because they are afraid?
Maybe because they aren't
or know they won't
be taken with me.
As with The Rapture
they will be spared.
Why the note is there
I cannot say. Only that it would be
comforting if someone noticed.
Or do they see ransom notes
in their own mirrors?
