- Airport.
-
- The sinister
eye of a camera
- has winked and
filed away my face
- and the
registration of my car.
-
- My passport and
my tickets have been
- subjected to
deep scrutiny;
- my knickers,
bras and sweaters
- have all
unfolded in my case,
- relieved to be
declared innocuous.
-
- My coat and
handbag have been X-rayed
- and I have had
my body screened;
- airport police
with frowns have kept
- their itchy
fingers on their guns,
- ready to freeze
us to the wall.
-
- Now Im
walking down a corridor of eyes,
- scared in case
they strip my skin away,
- leave my bare
soul standing, naked
- here for all
the world to see.
