I see this lizard every day
Calculating, still and gray
Vibrating like Scorpio
Waits until he's safe to show
Striking when the time is right
Bypass drama, fight, and flight
Intake, analyze, size-up
Dare not move and spill his cup
Cool and calm and watching there
Penetrate with his hard stare
Self-contained reptilian guy
This too is how I get by
