Caveat

To a handshake comes acception , giving hope.
To hope comes illusion ; to illusion : obsession.
And yet , it is not that simple.

From the second they were placed upon you
they remained in a locked position.
Attached ; focused
And waiting for a reciprocal reply.

But : how many of them actually exist?
They are unknown to public view
And don't show up very often,
unless they want to.

They are in own charge of themselves.

They perform
with caution.
Processing what's being documented.
They are forced to remain locked-up in a batcave.
Planning the next move.

They look forward to success

And yet : it is never achieved.

But they certainly don't stop.
How very stubborn of them.
They tend to march in unison, and working, then hiding
Batlike.
Until they simply
get
tired
off.

But, as for now, they are no longer needed to be pursued further.
