Perfect poem to kick off Monday morning, thank you

Denver International Airport. Blucifer's glowing red eyes. That stare, man, that stare. It's a signal

I like the sneakiness of this poem, the poet somewhere between the two workers, and suggestion to look up q level clearance which I did! Poetry in the Twilight Zone.

I was cleared at TS/SCI & think Q for DOE cases but it was precautionary as people would sometimes blurt things out about their jobs assuming I could hear it all when that's not what I was there for.

This is one of those things where you realize that even in places of hypercontrols, if you're standing in the room, you're standing in the room. I had the ear of some of the world's best psychiatric minds for nearly a decade. The shit that sometimes got dropped casually because I was the right hand of the top dog blew my mind on the regular.
