Lest
I should know you too easily, you play with me.
You
blind me with flashes of laughter to hide your tears.
I
know, I know your art.
You
never say the word you would.
Lest
I should not prize you, you elude me in a thousand ways.
Lest
I should confuse you with the crowd, you stand aside.
I
know, I know your art.
You
never walk the path you would.
Your
claim is more than that of others, that is why you are silent.
With
playful carelessness you avoid my gifts.
I
know, I know your art.
You
never will take what you would.
