Hide
The eccentric chain smoking scholar
The classic ace of spies
Communications he breaks,
They match his style;
Invisible around the bend.
He thinks carefully, always.
Always thinking.
He is loose
When stuck in tension.
And tight,
In small spaces
The real tissue infiltrator.
Against a foreign State,
Very well informed.
Of course his body is lined
With a stretched clandestine callous
Totally unremarkable to the untrained
Eyes. Everywhere.
The legal code sleeper
That sleeps only with one eye,
The other alert,
Tip-toeing the twilight minefield
Infecting bloodlines. Though only
With Good intentions.
