Saturday

Assistance

The qualifications required are quite simple.
I expect a level of discretion that is
greater than that of the prostitutes,
but not quite that of the thieves.
(I’m taking applications for neither this season.)

My home rests at the middle-most and highest point
in a rotating desert of similar mounds, and
a cunning young maid must make the most
of its inhabitant’s destructive and often guised prowess.

Working in television,
I’ve grown accostomed to a certain style of altitude
that requires an industrious disposition and
popular placement in areas of often
unsavory relation to our arid home.

If you should come upon my naked body
hissing and spinning about
place the bags beside the trunk
and come to my proximity.


The position requires agile hands and sometimes feet.
Juggling is a plus since I grow bored between episodes,
and pay has increased since responses to my announcement
have been sparse.
