It's possible for a poem to sound like truth but not be, or sound like it isn't truth when it is.


Social Research

In other language, if you look at it a different way, the trap is called commitment. Someone says I have made vows, I am committed, we have a commitment. You enter happily feeling your life is set and feeling that something about you has made another human being bond to you. While you float along happily, the bottom falls out. It's because commitment is too heavy and your partner can't carry it. You sink in the trap. If you protest and wriggle, the commitment gets heavier and you sink further.

Don's Second Social Law

The world of speech and smiles
is mined and laced with traps

Corollary A.

You will eventually
find yourself in a trap.

Corollary B.


If you find yourself in a trap
don't move, argue, complain
don't breathe. If you are still
the trap may go away
but if you move,
you will vanish.
