Your best bet to dodge shame
Is not to be so good
No one casts shame on you—
Saints and lambs get shamed, too.
It’s best to be so small
No one cares what you do,
Or checks on you at all.
In your head, in your dreams,
Your fine acts earn high praise
From all who think on you—
Leave it at that. No one
Who is thought on too much
Looks fine all the damn time.
Don’t put your trust in signs.

They Will Put Their Trust in Signs
