[khg] this thing

these are not the kind of things
you talk about in public
not even in passing
if you find a piece you need
its a slight tap
a quick nod
a twisted mouth
an eyebrow raised
then when you get home
you discuss it
in hushed tones
with the tv on
hinder eavesdropping
the plans are drawn up
under the cover of darkness
for a surprise attack
from behind
there are no notes
or diagrams
just an idea
and a few idle comments
so no one can get in the way
or steal your plans
to take it all over
