Today's poem is by Alan C. Fox

Full Disclosure
       

I keep many secrets
I'm going to tell a few
You will know me better
Though still I won't know you

A process much like praying
Though we don't need a pew
And we'll really never finish
We'll always keep a few

I'm tired more than yesterday
Exhaustion simply grew
Now that you are older
You may feel it too

Do dear friends really know me
Perhaps, just one or two
Not completely because I hide
Like others in the zoo

Most important, I'm an alien
Here to spy on you
Report back to my people
They're energy, like you

There, that is the big one
We were separate as we grew
Now carrot and potato
We swim in the same stew

Now you know me better
What I say may be true
But when you tap my shoulder
We still ask each other who
