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.
We all know
