suspicious behavior
foretells strange layers
to a questionable situation
truth spoken is fine
but one's actions can
unknowingly counter
their words
the gut instinct
picks up on this
and forces the analytical mind
to ponder strands of truth
woven perhaps in make believe
for the larger part of my adult life
I've gone with my gut on many fronts
confronted with actions that counter
one's words
always sends red flags up to my eyes
in this latest happenstance
my mind is all a buzz
informing me
there is indeed
whether admitted or not
'A Snake In Someone's Nest'
attempting to rustle around
unnoticed...........

Author's Notes/Comments:
This poem was written over an incident experienced yesterday. When the hackles of my suspicions returned in full force with yet another strange occurrence. The person in question laughed and tried to convince me to not listen to my gut and that made my gut scream louder I let a similar instance go a year or so ago but then this one pops up reminding me all over again same set up different characters involved. I'm sure this person goes with their gut too as it goes with the line of work they are in. Perhaps that is what makes such person distrustful of others. Trust is important to me. I must be frank anyone who laughs at my gut instinct raising a warning, makes me even more suspicious. This poem helped ease what was howling in me like a wounded warning siren.
