I’ll rise to the occasion,
if it’s required (or, on demand).
I can also settle to the bottom
like an hour glass’ grains of sand.
It’s always up to me
as to what direction I will go.
It’s an old game of survival …
the only one I know.
My response to all life’s problems
is to do what I must do;
to be receptive, and reactive,
and to see the problem through.
When it’s over I become
another face lost in the crowd;
I’ll always choose to be anonymous
whenever I’m allowed.
I prefer anonymity
rather than be microscopically assessed;
‘cause with a thousand eyes upon me
I am never at my best.
At my best I am methodical,
quiet, thorough, and complete;
it’s better to take too much time …
than allow a problem to repeat.
I’d rather think before I act …
and, always look before I leap
that makes it easier to back away
before getting in too deep.
The easiest solution
to any problem through the years;
has been to recognize it right away …
and tweak it ‘till it disappears!

Oh how I agree with the two previous commenters. Who would not wish anonymity, instead of being microscopically dissected.?
The very elementary self-preservation cries out against such a thing. A thing that stifles the elan, enthusiasm and brings the very pulse of life. to a stillstand.
You however find a way to bring this outrageous thing with such masterly words to the fore - amazing John!
What a great gift!
