i wait at the edge for the tide to come in but all it brings is
empty plastic containers and sticks and polythene
nothing that even remotely
resembles

every bad act
is stored on a magnetic tape
which we retain. kept in a secret vault

repeated and repeated with your code name
at the top of the file.
to be reviewed at your departure
for the pearly gates.



it’s one of our strenghts and also one of our great
weaknesses. emotional honesty.
