I Took the Time To Study Him
I see him flinch and I figure out his next move
Because I have studied him, and now have the ability to persuade.
We dance the dance, but both know I may win
For I took the time to understand him, and study him
And in his rush to share his prowess with me,
He neglected to learn anything about me at all.
His flinch is gone quickly, but not quickly enough.
We both know the battle is over because I took the time
and made him comfortable, and earned his trust, and learned him
Whereas he knows not his opponent and has no clear direction.
I smile, not a smile of encouragement,
a smile of victory.
This he recognizes….
