PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Costly?  You bet; almost three months' salary:

antique, built by master cabinet makers. in or

near to the Black Forest.  The interior is quite

spacious---much roomier than it might appear at

first glance.  The placement of the heads---yes,

mostly homeless people, drug addicts, and small

time thugs like yourself---requires (like the

acquisition of them) a certain finesse and manual

dexterity; arrangement is, of course, an integral

part of any sophisticated display.  (Even Jack the

Ripper understood that.)  Struggling is futile:  you

are, if you have not noticed, fully immobilized.  You

possess that rough look I like so much; I do not waste

time, or effort, on the delicate pretties, the

boy-whores, that lurk about the theater district.

You have remarkably stern, even disdainful,  features.

I will put you in the center of the main shelf, the

place of honor.  You will be valued there, in ways

you may never have dared imagine.  You will never be

alone again:  these others will welcome you heartily.

I know they are very friendly---I often hear them

talking among themselves, when they think I am not listening.
