In Patient Ambush

Let's workshop this poem about signs of untrustworthiness

---

In Patient Ambush 

You expect him to be 
upfront about his errors 
and shortcomings
from the jump—

safeguarding trust
through humility, 
charting ahead 
in hand-in-hand honesty—

when over his baldness
he combs and gels
mere strands
preposterous in length?
