creating a local ambience

It ruins the dignity 
of wondrous, amazing
things to speak of them 
as if they actually happened. 
Or worse! To complain of them
in a showboating way, loud and
offhand as if now and then is nice,
but come on! Sick of it! Prompting 
the other to step up and lie, in order 
to validate and seem too part of the 
"we know" crowd.  "Ahh, yeah I know
what you mean! Only here, right?
Typical of this place. Others don't
know." 

Let us speak instead in knowing 
winks, alluding to these things 
we all know make this place 
so specially weird. Be not
too definite. Too precise. It's 

part of the charm 

of living here.
