Watching, learning...


from the ABC set In the lulls...

It’s amazing just how much
You can learn about a person.
Watching, observing closely;
The subtle nuances of life.
How people act, move, think;
It’s all subjective.

But it’s also definitive.

Human behavior changes,
Adapting to the situation.
Watching and learning from others;
Mimicking and mocking.
Mockery is the truest form of flattery,
then flattery is education.
A few well chosen words
Are the best way to get ahead.

So we learn to learn from others,
By mimicking their mockery?
