In the neighborhood of intrigue you’ll find a spy up every tree
Where years ago a spy moved in followed by another
then another till there were more spies living here
then folks like you and me.
No matter where you walk a spy you will see
trying to act like you and me.
Theres pony tail walking with his coffee cup
and two crew cuts with walky talkies in their ears.
The joggers who stop to smoke on my front lawn.
A young man that has no idea where he lives
and a tow truck driver that can’t start his Gery Dan.
Just a normal day in the neighbor of intrigue.

There is a Mercedes convention
driving up and down the street 24 hours a day.
The roofing job where the rubble in the yard
was higher then the top of the house.
Where on weekin more cars then in a dealership
Are parked
Then theirs the builder that has no plans
and has used enough lumber and concrete to build four homes
has yet to enclose a single room or pour a single floor.
