- "and therein lies the power of wishful thinking... you express the nuances of the mind, as if there were no limitations to the stories we'll let ourselves indulge, knowing full well their fictitious content, and yet not willing or able to deny their appeal."

- "The choice, the urgency, the logic, and the performance are all brilliantly described, but the wisdom to recognize that playing this part enslaves you to it is the real jewel.
I really appreciate your thought processes. Most people don't have the courage to be honest with themselves. This work shows that you do."

- "Well-documented procedure for future habits formed -- your own personal warning, I wonder? I sense that the protagonist here knows the danger of getting to good at the art of deception... well done."

- "Considering that the author hasnt told a 'nasty' lie since she stole a piece of cake at age of 8, this piece is heavy with personal experience that goes beyond the text level - as you have so explicitly pointed out...xx "

- "hmmmm the lies offered to the loyal... aren't those the droppings of the largest of apes... I like the reference to the political parlance... a platform to behold, a campaign being waged, promises issued... and betrayal offstage. This seems to capture the bold coldness of the act in the words of the infidel. It seems to me that "they" stands out from all the other words."

- "Thank you...yes I did mean 'cornered' ;)
I agree it does rely heavily on interpretation and I guess that is what I love about posting here....it is a personal journey. The poem is about DP."

- "Did you mean 'cornered' at every turn? This reminds me of walking into a room with too familiar faces... smoky... with jaws grinding and glass flickering under dimmed lights... and the scratch of lighters flaring up the darkness beneath a din of pungent smoke, nervous chatter, and metal squealing a locomotive right through so many battered yesterdays.... no will stands before the train too often without falling between the tracks... very nice write, obtuse, relies on interpretation, speaks little and yet, and maybe for that reason, cannot be but heard. Welcome"

- "Meanings within meanings, eloquently spoken. Hiding the pain but seeking that elusive acceptance that will not disintegrate.
That was most excellent. I'm looking forward to reading more. Welcome to DP. "
