SUBSCRIPTION
Tilok Adnan
Monthly magazine arrives
Best issue in a while
Headline reads, BAGGAGE CLAIMS
A spitting image of me wrinkled,
Not too much,
Like my bed sheet my mom made
In the morning and I moved very little
In my sleep - around the eyes
My lips sealed tight -
An envelope with strong glue seal
Bitter tasting, ready to be sent off
Address not specified -
Lateral horizontal reflection of a smile
Photoshopped with experience
The face draws curiosity
It sells to know something is wrong
The public will engage
Readership still exists in a world of screens
Only the fucking details are left out
For shorter attention spans
Glossy print, the fresh smell of pages
Novel dramatic imagery for a
Devastating cover story
Read me.
