Middle Management for Beginners


make like you know
though you know
you don't know
and you know
that they know
you don't know
and also
that they know
that you know it

make sure that they know
what they know
is known only
to those in the know
and unknown to those
for whom it is known
that the knowing
of what is unknown
is better unknown

make it known
that you know this

make it unknown
that you know more
than what is known
that you know,
for when they know
that you know
what was thought
to be known only
to those in the know
you will know
it's become known
that it's time
for you to...
you know
