Too Secure

He that is too secure is not safe. ~ Thomas Fuller

Made in the shade.
I've got this down,
understand the program,
have worked the steps.
Let me tell you all the secrets,
teach you the shortcuts.
That first thing in the morning
and as you go to bed each night?
Don't get too hung up on that —
after all, you chose your higher power
and know what it takes for you two.
And meetings? After a while
you've heard it all, same story
seventy-second verse.
It's all the truth, told to me by Zoe and Ysa.
You never met them? Well Zoe —
she relapsed, died in the addiction.
And Ysa, she's around.
Come to think of it,
she's pretty much a ball.
or a blimp. Maybe
they were wrong...
