Shades of Subtlety

a pic-and-prose poem

"Be it by gins, by snares, by subtlety"

William Shakespeare, King Henry VI, Part II (III.1)

Sometimes subtlety works. Merely dawn the right outfit And the right face-- That of an angel wearing a sin.
At times it takes but to show him the prize, To let the caress of dusk lead his eyes, And leave him no doubt in what you seek, With your defiant lips and vicious gaze.

	Or you might have to lure him in With a savory hors d'oeuvre, And hope that you can steer his appetite Toward your hunger.
	Or capture him at his least guarded, Impaling him with irises, And sweetly hinting For your prisoner to play the warden.

When he won't take the bait, Be a brat, silly and childish, Until he reaches the end of his rope And reaches to rope your end.
Or, if you prefer, be a smart-alec brat, Correct his logic and recall of history, And be sure to laugh at his errors Until he takes you to school.

	But sometimes he's dense. Then dispense with subtlety, Bring him his tools, And just ask for a fix.
	And when all else fails, Wear your most obscene, Close your shades, And cook your own meal.
