Surprised?

I am not surprised
That despite your disguise
You are capable of many things

Despite your cool persona
You sing songs like “My Sharona”
While driving alone in your car

When you joke around
You can be such a clown
But most of us know nothing

Of the depth of your laugh
Your humor is always fully staffed
But on mute so you won’t go too far

You do your best work
Without so much a quirk
That it seems that’s all there is to you

When the job is done
Is when you like to have fun
Like a weight lifting off your shoulders

Short-lived time with longtime friends
But when the weekend intermission ends
You don your game face again on cue

How do I know this?
Your game face I can dismiss
Because I am you only older
