The Peeping Tom
Hes been just about everywhere I've been
from when I was born up till now,
instead of going by my birth name
goes by my 9 numbers with the dash-es,
knows my hair color, height and weight
color of my eyes and eye lashes,
knows which schools I've attended
and all my addresses,
which jobs I've had in the past
whether I've been good or bad,
how many children
and how many marriages..
and when I go shopping
and use my debit or credit card,
he knows my taste in food and clothes
and knows which stores I shop at,
knows which books I like to read
if I check out some from the library,
knows if I've gone through a red light
when I pass through an intersection,
even knows my cars direction
when I use my gps system,
knows if I have insurance or not
and which doctors I see,
knows about my health in general
and how many surgeries,
and I'm sure he's even there
when I use my cell phone and
am on the internet,
knows how much money I've earned and owe,
knows my whole life's history,
and pretty much everywhere I go,
I'm not paranoid even though
in short he probably knows more
about me than I'll ever know,
thats why he follows me from the cradle to the grave
just like the movie "The Truman Show."
