mimicry

i learned
at a very early age
to observe
pay attention, be quiet
the habits of a stranger
inhabiting a strange, new world
lonely
never at home
always molding the chameleon face
to match yours
i look
at this change as a possibility
when the most important skill
i have is
the adaptation
of mimicry.
