whistle blown

SO WHAT IF I HAD
secrets to keep could i
and what if i had
secrets to reveal would i
be so brave to give up
family, country, safety
to live in the interstice of legality
a stopping place in transience
watching those who could save me
turn their backs while those who would
destroy me because i bit them
slaver at the gates, awaiting the swords
that will lock me out of sanctuary
at the politgod's bidding.


nah, i wouldn't take that job in the first place.
i mean if you're gonna be all spy guy
then raascal is your calling.
allegiance to a flag or a fag or multibillion dollar hag
is not on your radar.. expedience
under pressure, role reversal a necessor.
i realise that to hold this view is us and themming
but seriously, spies are sneaky, shady by trade.
is it possible that playing that game too long
will turn your coat for real? the tiger's stripes
don't change, no matter whose zoo .
