And I'm the only one who knows. (Nods at Billy Joel)
The staff were emphatic: I work, I go home, I eat, I read, I sleep. Repeat the process everyday.
They see me as an old person with a sedentary lifestyle. No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark. (Nods at Vapors).

"Don't burst the bubble! This is your chance to be a saint to a handful," a friend argues.
What imagery.
The kids only know that I do go on photowalks and road trips and backpacking trips every now and then. But my personal life, they can only guess.
They don't have a hint I can give flirting lessons, basic and advanced.
They even think I can be nice. Poor souls. Poor misguided souls.
Saints are sinners. Their difference is their humble admission and reparation of whatever damage caused.
