Adventures abound in the world of the spy
with acuteness of hearing and deftness of eye.
Peeking through windows, around street corners
hidden in sight, message passed with informers.
Gathering clues constructs a meticulous trail.
Target entrapped with an invisible tail.
Beware the dark secrets the spy will uncover
wicked fetish, cash bribes, rendezvous with a lover.
Sins uncovered, nothing left to assumption
scribed and reported with precision and gumption.
Lies and deception no match for the sleuth
skilled in unveiling the sinister truth.
Simone Maffescioni, 2020
