Carapace Pinkertons of the NSA

Carapace Pinkertons of the NSA,
wired for service using plans drawn by Nikola Tesla,
creeping into secret places while you sleep,
invading foreign embassies
and high school English classrooms,
sending coded reports back to their masters
via psionic carrier waves.

Remote control roaches
infiltrating unions and activist groups,
leaving chemical trails in their feces for later analysis.

Scuttling across linoleum floors
for secrets and scandals,
listening for terrorist plots in churches
and petty jealousies in corporate bathrooms.

The intelligence community is a plague,
pestilence and vermin.
