One says he must sell all his time to others
or he is lost to boredom.
The other says he will never again know pure joy.
How is it possible?

I could never say these things—or believe them.
I would trade all to be one for whom these things were inconceivable.
I have done.

The false can feel true,
as when one person thinks they know, understand another,
and yet...the cost of correct behavior to experiential density!

I overvalue my affiliates.
No one else is responsible for my memories.
