Cover My Tacks Poem by Sarah Sisson

It's really important to cover my tacks.
Avoid controversy and coat all the facts.

A reason for sharing is not always kind.
I'd rather sit silent and you read my mind.

A truce, if you will, with the things I don't share.
I do for not only myself, but to dare...

...not keep those around me at bay with the math
of tricky persuasions and veer down the path...

...of other inquiries that may not be so
incriminating and off again I go...

...in hiding with my interpretations of
the things I don't want you to know. Not above

deception and schemes that I plan with much care.
I keep you at bay. I keep you unaware.
