under the radar

you are under the radar,
out of sight,
incognito, lurking
in the shadows
of your own curious
and vague life.
you walk on cats feet
from one place
to another, whispering
known secrets
to anyone who will
listen. you are cautious
with love, with
affection. taking
it slow, spooning it
down like cold medicine.
you tilt your hat
even on a cloudy day,
wear your black shades.
your coat is long,
your shoes walk softly
down the narrow streets
and alleyways.
you go about this world
happily quiet and alone.
gently you slip the key
into the lock
of your own front door
and turn.
