Seen it myself many times. Not “Repo Man”, I’ve never seen that, just the exploding people part.

Thanks! This was a great Prompt. I loved the idea of connecting The Men in Black to The Man in Black. It really does sound like a tribute band. Haha. Glad you enjoyed it, too... 😎

Suits crisp, sharp as blades—

Armani or thrift store finds?

Secrets wear both well.

Designer or dollar store?

Truth hides in the shades.

Men in Black, they glide,

Fashion’s enigma remains—

Mystery in style.
