Travel Agent

Exotic destination
Three rows back
Window seat available
This job is in the bag

Wet footprints
Invertebrate tingling
Broken ribs
Void of meaning

The sign on her back says
“Be Quiet”
That way we can read it when
She turns around

Bushels & baskets
Lifted & filled
Acres of okra
Slaughtered & killed

For what?

Travel Agent
of guilt trips
Booking again
