Stalking and walking in your endless patterns,
Trapped within your hidden tension battens:
Batten down the hatches of your life’s confusion.
Keep silent on your chances of bitter exclusion.
Motion on motion supports emotions release,
Through verbal contortions you make their pleas.
Pleas for executive support of your tender ego
How resilient you seem taking blow after blow.
What is within you which drives this notion
That parading around prevents your explosion.
Explosion of words whisked through the air,
Targeting clients as they enter your lair.
Technologies trap brings out animal urge.
Your patterns to you are deeply submerged:
Submerged in your importance you fail to see
An animal caged is what you are to me.
