My open-eyed naivety offers indeed
credence to all that you utter, while another side of me
hides from public view, eschewing the detail
repeatedly, till gullibility is ground down.
I found it wise to put in the balance (for fresh
assessment) much of your attitude up front,
in a hunt for the real person that lurks within you -
spinning the yarns you think necessary to survive.
I've (as you might not see) discovered a healthy
self-insurance policy of double checking
the text I'm given to accept in the lost article
department of my ever-cautious lucid mind.
It's no good giving me the nod and wink,
I'm not the sucker that you seem to think!
