Sometimes I have to wonder
why I keep talking to myself.
It’s like my home library -
the same books sit on the shelf.
Oh sure, sometimes I shuffle them
or sort them by their size
but it’s just superficial -
a change just for my eyes.
The content doesn’t seem to change
not much anymore.
Most everything that comes in “new”
I’ve seen it all before.
Although, occasionally a new idea
will sneak into my mind.
But usually I can turn away
and pretend that I am blind.
I had a great idea,
one I thought was fine,
but I convinced myself
that it really wasn’t mine.
Now and then I witness
an argument begin…
but I don’t have to choose sides
because I always win.

Not me However, I've never been caught in public doing anything
... the secret is "good hiding places"
