Bait and Switch

I know (that) you know (that) I know

A never ending round

Repetition its only gambit

Automaton snagged on a curtain

Last call resounded months ago

Years now that you ask

And forever since what you say

Cuts through to reach us here

To save dear ones the trouble

Some people build their own casket

Perhaps this is love     This box

My gift to you      To keep us safe

On the label we print

           Daedalus

Block letters in black ink
