I didn’t know it was so obvious

They read my face like
The perspicuous words in a book

They asked, interrogated
But I didn’t have an answer

An answer that would suit them

I know the repetition
Is to blame for my hypnotic demeanor
Anticipating a spontaneous moment
To break the spell

Hopefully an adequate dose of adrenaline
Will do the trick
