before
going for a new
passport photo,
the little
square
to be embedded in the very
official blue
confirming non-domestic
travel.
perhaps a suit, to be formal,
or a sports coat
with a fancy tie,
maybe
a black, or white shirt.
maybe a button down
cowboy vest,
or a Mexican poncho,
or a turtleneck
sweater.
is that how i want to look
for the next ten
years when
they open and stamp
the book
before boarding the plane
to Timbuktu?
don't smile, they say,
before they click the button,
no worries there,
i tell them.
