Issue No. 12, Escape - Evil the Hand that Frees the Hermit


Evil is the free hand that raps the hermit’s door,
while hidden, the other within the coat secretes a store
of court orders, judgments, liens, levies galore…

So exquisite the bouquet of legal array
is presented the hermit that he faints away,
the scent of reed and rice and lisle sending him to floor…

Un-nerved, the process server stoops to feel for pulse—
ineptly finding one, she tents his face with her papers,
as if the finest of linen shrouds, and slinks away!

Stealing to the Bonneville parked just outside,
she slams it into Reverse, mindful to rehearse
the mantras of her training:

“It’s not personal! It’s just business!”
“It’s not personal! It’s just business!”
“It’s not personal! It’s just business!”
