Spy Wednesday

A little late but a quick poem for the day that’s in it.

Spy Wednesday

We had the guy on camera since the weekend.

How could we not? The crowds alone had triggered

warning levels demanding our attention.

His known associates were mostly no ones.

Hookers and fishermen, small time farmers,

with nothing much to lose. Not radicals

but enough of a concern to warrant action.

Phone masts tracked him. A website signaled.

He’d booked dinner for his friends on Friday night.

We had him now. So when one approached us

and tried to sell him we could afford to laugh

at the demand for crypto and escape. We’ll send

our men to seize him in the garden. Perhaps

he knows we’re already onto him.
