See The Devil You Know

Buddy saw the details.

The details. The details.

Grew from where he hails.

He hails. He hails.

Living in his Reticular

Activation System.

He hesitates to speak the truth.

For fear it might be heard.

Then attributes would fall about.

Good tidings undeserved.

He heard that word

And he observed

Nothing at all to see here now

And got back into his herd.
