they knew just enough
enough to be dangerous
dangerous in ways that left others unsettled
unsettled–as in feathers ruffled
ruffled and or preening in order to be seen
seen by they who left
left –right–or wrong–their presence was still felt
felt in the way peril and elation merge
merge and confuse you
you cannot escape their wisdom
wisdom that comes from knowing
knowing just enough
enough to be dangerous
