Identity Theft

Identity Theft

we meet in places 

where I don’t live

singing songs 

I’ve never learnt

I’m fixing for you 

 your favorite dish

we’re driving in a car 

that you’ve leased

to the mall in a new 

part of the city

buying clothes 

that don’t fit 

we swipe purchases 

with a disposable card

then relax 

to a very loud film

later we undress 

to just our masks

engaging in consensual 

s&m 

I whisper sweet nothings 

in your ear 

tomorrow I start another job

I’m not sure what it is
