Pisces

Pisces pretends to not be listening Yet misses nothing Picking up nuances and secretly laughing Knowing she is the brightest in the room And maybe the neighborhood Pays attention to every lip movement Not pouncing or fixing, but listening. She looks at her I-phone, texting her bestie. They snicker at the ignorance afoot. Knowing they are miles ahead But keeping it quiet Some are intrigued One sits and converses. Says “I did not know you were this funny!” Pisces is hilarious, but wisely keeps it to self Not wanting to scare the others into running off After they realize who the winner is in the contest of life.
