Politico

treacherous images haunt
I feel the pain
of a knife in the back
though I’m not sure
If I’ve seen one

I sanitize my hands
after every handshake
Avoid eye contact
To conceal
Deep-rooted hatred

No love for monsters, I say…

My friend texts back

Hey, all I meant to say was that he’s an ace diplomat
And can help you seal deals in business

Oh, my God…..
all layers of meaning
stored images
well-concealed animosity
is what I need to shed
on hearing the word
Politico
