CBP AGENT ROMAN
AND OTHER AGENTS


Roman
You are a poet
I like the way
You pronounce the word
“Asshole”

With that accent
Of yours

How much does
The US government pays you
To insult Citizens?

Roman
Do you like your job?
Do you like your name?

I think it sounds
Kind of cool
Kind of like
Roman Meal

Roman
What happened
To the pledge to
The traveler?

Are you trying to
Synthesize it
With just
1 word?

Roman
If I could say
“Asshole”
Better than you can
May I have?
Your job?

By the way
In Spanish
It’s CULERO

Why can’t you be
Like Agent Deogracias
That guy is real nice
Very professional

Roman
What’s the matter
Was it too cold?
Too hot?

Agent Cervantez
What an inspiration
Sort of like
Don Quijote
But in a female version
She wrote about her name
On the
Hunter Orange Slip
She likes her name
Perhaps a little bit too much

Roman
Why don’t you like yours?
