I want you to know when
I signal you, it means
I know your worth.
So
we have to arrange
a preunderstood signal. Some
gesture, cryptic to the world
but crystal to you from me.
Then
when you see it,
you'd be like "Aha!
Hehehehe he knows
my worth."
I'm thinking chef's-kiss,
shrug-wink,
the bird,
victory-V (or flip it:
the Brit double barrel
bird equivalent),
these
could be ambiguous
to onlookers drawing
the wrong idea. We
need
to agree
on our own sign.
I recommend
I place both index fingers
in one horizontal line
fingertip-to-tip
at eye level, and
you
bite your lip
and
give a curt "back nod"
or grin and shake your head
slow no,
depending whether
I do or not know
your worth
in
that
moment
