    I like the simplicity of this. I want to know more about the 'you' who is expedient and nihilistic.

    Wow, a 500-word essay couldn't have said as much as your little 20-word poem!

    Lots of agony in here!

    Oh, Guatami. This is incredible.

    I *might* change expedient to expedience, but it is yours. A beautiful poem.
