meeny miny
moed from glossy
black and white
single-sided brochures
at the check-in counter
he said he was just
the gatekeeper
his job was
to not let anything
get past him
he kept to the script
yes—no
questions—answers
did I want to harm

refill of normality
he was the gatekeeper
his job was to
maintain status quo
it would take
referral to at least
a bi-fold brochure
to get anything
past him
