Chameleon

Out of the corner of my eye,
something moved.

Slightly, but it was there;
reptilian.

Shifty, sneaky,
inconspicuous.
And yet, I saw the creature make it's way.
But I pretended that I didn't.

It reminded me of a person's behavior,
shifty,
sneaky,
inconspicuous;
changing colors in every situation
while pretending to be pure white.

I saw it out of the corner of my eye,
but pretended not to.

*Thank Goddess it is a thing of the past,
as now when I see that creatures do exist
and will act according to their nature:
human being or not, I act accordingly too.
