the external,
layers of lies
built up from trivial truths

illusory cognitive coherence
emotional entropy
idiosyncratic powers of monopsony

desperate exposure
creative regret
nets of blatant subtleties

integration is subtle
opposed by any unilateral
elimination of the adversarial

expectation is volatile
the incunabula of the reticent
vision of a perforated inviolate

function of friction
presumption of precision
in an inerrant function

trauma of ennui
consumption of compromise, concession
the pleasant panic of sudden rain

the fortune of occasional wisdom
and helplessness before beauty
