kept

they say
tell people your plans
to keep you honest
to keep an ear out.
there is also a time
to keep silent
to move in silence
so undetected moves
avoid obstacles.
unfortunately
some people smile
then block the lane
slow your momentum.
i'm committing to the quiet
make my moves
in the cloak of darkness.
once the deal is done
the achievement accomplished
the announcement will go out.
time will be spent analyzing
old information
and i'll stay silent
plotting on a new venture
keep all looking
two steps behind my waves.
