Eavesdropper (3/15/93)
I know all about you;
You can hide from me like you can hide from your shadow
Lurk
around corners, behind doorways
Watch
listen
sense
and
know
I'm the vampire of vicariousness
Snippets of experience, the life-blood I crave
The thrill you know and I don't -- yet
I touch lives
And sneak surreptitiously away to my lair where i devour the juicy tender
morsels that I crave so much and strip the flesh with razor jaws and
crack the bones and suck the marrow and take it all and more
And wait until I hunger again
