Nameless
the nameless ones
in rooms with no windows
are carving strategies out of burned wood
for the advisors to the king
they never sign anything
you’ll hear about them in the movies
years after they’ve died
movies always tell the truth
years too late
meanwhile the advisors
are drinking and signing their names
to everything
tying yellow ribbons
kissing babies
keeping their options open
you know the drill
