But Before You Come In

you will have to have
your temperature taken

and answer a series of questions
put to you by a team of men and women
dressed in super-protective clothing.

Obviously you will be required to prove
you are who you say you are.
Are you?

Bring some testimonials.

Bank statements. Don’t forget them.
There’s no such thing
as a free lunch.

If you’ve not turned away yet,
if you’re not crunching your way
back down the gravelly path,

heading slowly down the hill,
I have a hunch
you’ll fit right in here.

So welcome. Well done.
Come in. Come in. Cough
into this carrier bag please.
