Your heart is an unceasing, overflowing, blindingly blue river of kindness. Walter, I thank you for your compassion, I can only hope that Livsey's reaction will bear the faintest glimmer of resmeblance to yours.

I need to cut the flowery bullshit outside of poetry. Whatsup guys?

I don't care Matthew. You need to loosen up.

Mr. Le is what E.E. Cummings would call "a walking Platonic triad - the good, the true, the beautiful." The presence of this poem in the literary world is, in the grand scheme of things, akin to Milton's completion of his final draft of "Paradise Lost." Truly a tour-de-force, Nick, and I look forward to seeing more of your splendid work.

Flattery has swiftly overcome me, yet my suspicions of your muffled sarcasm and mischevious tom-foolery still loom. Identify yourself, or forever burn in the torturous pool of soulless anonymity.

Mystery [wo]man:

My words were harsh, I do regret,
Forgive me now, all shall be set.

The sanctimonious notion that I am a "Platonic triad" incarnate is frightening because it implies that deviations from this ideal whether it be in my work, in my play, or in my life will be critiqued.

Though I must say, I will do all I can to avoid becoming a walking Machiavellian triad of money, fame, and power.

I can only try, I cannot promise oh mysetery [wo]man.

And this my friends, is the plight of the human condition: what to do, when what we try is not enoguh?
