Leopard

I play, I pounce, I fight. More often than not, I hunger.

You may recognize me by my spots. These spots have consumed me many times and I do not fault you for your caution. Please do not fault me for hiding these spots. Its interesting how a shirt, tie and shiny shoes make me appear as a different animal to you. My spots lie underneath, perhaps the brilliance of this borrowed watch has blurred your ability to see?

I hide my spots in order to survive, in order to feed and grab the opportunities that have presented themselves to me.

I hide these spots to live again in a less selfish manner.

I do not fault you.

I am a different leopard now. A different leopard with the same spots i have always had.
