Fool Myself Once, Shame on Me; Fool Myself Twice, Shame on Us
There is
hiding yourself
and there is
hiding from yourself;
the former is often
deep cover for the latter
because
even if you don’t know who I really am
I’m never safe from you
for you could always find out,
requiring my constant vigilance in fooling you–
It is in this misdirection
that I am safe from myself,
making you and I
partners in crime
