I was in Tahoe, on the California side,
waiting in the lobby at 665 1/2 Frontage Road
when two extra-blond short sleeve button-down

came in and took me by the arm,
and as they had me marching through the parking lot-
and as they were marching through the parking lot-

and took me into a back room.

and they said they wanted to organize my receipts
and itemize my expenses

to a safety deposit box,
with treasury bonds and the key
to another safety deposit box
where I'd stashed away

that ever belonged to
Joseph Smith's Great-Great Uncle's
