you're a bogart, a shapeshifter, a sly trickster, and a con artist. but i will come to recognize all your guises yet, so that i can pick you out, expose you, and banish you when you dare to show your face to me again. and maybe you will attempt to infiltrate my life frequently for a while. but eventually i will get so good at catching and jailing and expelling you that you will shrink away with your tail between your legs and leave me alone for longer and longer stretches of time, as it takes you longer and longer to recuperate from the beating i will give you, until you get the message and leave me for good!
