A FOX IN THE HEN HOUSE
Someone didn't want it known
s/he was recording so
put the gadget in a hidey-hole,
(inside the clothes)
worn by that mole!
(The muffled sounds,
suddenly clear,
zipping of fabric
in your ear.)
Who taped?
Who made it public?
Who stood to gain?
Who made a mantra
from a phrase?
Again?
As the Lame Duck
came into view,
we looked around:
nobody knew
a unicorn from an issue.
