mug shots
the poets’ mug shots
on the dust cover sleeves
mainly smiling
mostly smiling
as the stiletto slides in
mostly smiling
as the stiletto slides in
so when they write darkly
why do they smile brightly
as the stiletto slides in
why do their eyes sparkle
time and again
is it tears of laughter
are they tears of pain
as the stiletto slides in
pick up an anthology
and you’ll see them smiling again
and again
and again
as the stiletto slides in
as the stiletto slides in
