Let us converse cryptically, you and I,
observe and obfuscate obliquely,
speak in code - veil our words
in a multiplicity of meaning.
Let us build a wall of carefully constructed deceit,
embedded with myths, hopes, dreams and disillusionment -
with just enough cracks in it to reveal what lies behind.

No sex, drugs and/or Rock'n'Roll!
Oh dear, how sad,
how can one be good, if one has not been bad;
happy, if not sad; at peace if one has not been mad?
Fear not, this is but a phase,
lurking, lurking for an eloquent phrase.
Did I say "eloquent"? Surely not,
I mean elegant (diamond tiara and all).
What more can I say?
Hippopotamus?

The final act of despair is not death,
oit is to prevail regardless - clinging to
an absurd belief in the independent existence
of Truth, Justice, Beauty,
and the validity of humanity:
some call it optimism, others call it Faith.
