Jealously is commonly tied
To a monster that’s green-eyed.

Secret
Secluded but not always successful 
Expressed but not always explained 
Concealed but not always confidential

Truthful but sometimes causes trouble...

The lady looked at him and wondered if he knew.

“Will you please move down dear?”

Once again Jamal asked the question, a frat “initiation.”
Anticipating their 3pm meeting,
 Having filled this stage of his “subjugation.” His question he restated,
