Zywa The curtain

At the travel agency, I bought some
freedom with nice promises
which it fulfils, without extra cost

and the charms of the hostess
on site reinforce my sense
of relief, for a moment

She helps me, advises me
and will report
on my questions and interests

I am a file
My contacts have been known
since the booking was confirmed

I realise that
I may be a target
as soon as I am back home
