strategy
the real thing
gave me plenty of practice to pull from.
i play dumb
and i act scared
but i know exactly what you’re doing.
i’ve had
my guts and my teeth
fall out and rearranged.
tip the bottle
just to open to your touch.
manipulation is just a little magic-
who do you think taught you these tricks?
we are well-behaved in public
while waging a secret war.
