I had to go around
to find you again
sittin’ there
all the time
in the same spot
covered with blinds from someone else’s holes
of incompetency
studyin’
all the intricacies
of life around
I caught you off guard
crackin’ codes
fittin’ the boats
GPS coordinates
dependin’ on
their positions offshore
one smart cookie on the dough
makin’ a career out of this
careerin’ of old hats
how does it make you feel
when you had hair once
in all colours, now gone
into sneaky mode?
certainly, more than any words
can contain now
learned
on previous mistakes
