INTRIGUES

Satur Sulit

intrigues are intriguing
they are worth the attention
they keep us informed
of our neighbors’ dispositions
their gross imaginings
and fearful assumptions
their chance encounters
and juicy revelations
they are constant reminders
of our worst suspicions
the level of competition
for our negative opinions
they are an assurance
that our secret presumptions
rightly or wrongly
are within expectations.
