I wonder how serial killers
choose the outfits they’ll wear
and whether it’s part of their
MO – modus operandi.
Does one seek to match
with their victim’s outfit
or prefer to be contrasting?
Life; black and white matter.
Haute couture chaussures
with burgundy splatters
of dry aged blood indicate
unforeseen slips of the hand.
Handkerchiefs doused in liquid,
offered as a kind gest
to innocent targets
fallen prey to your con.
Pocket watches aren’t style elements
but equipped to time
the exact amount of seconds
you took to breath your last breath.
From all your outfits,
they prefer to see you
wearing a body bag,
at the end of your next date.
