Mata Hari in a blanket with sleeves

Snuggies
are
hospital ball gowns

I prefer to wear them with
nothing
underneath
and one shoulder slipped out
like a fallen bra strap:
a wardrobe malfunction
for wolves in sheep clothing

I readjust my glasses,
set teeth against my lower lip
like small white almonds
and pick up my dog-eared copy
of Lolita

a femme fatale to the end
