i actually do come from a stock of kids who
still found pleasure in playing outdoors,
on those warm summer nights,
we didn't have any affiliation with
the school we went to,
unlike in england,
  we were neighbouring kids,
         and neighbouring kids had the most
firm alliance -
                     so we played hide & seek -
even we could have been almost english:
cuckooed indoors with a smart phone...
                  but growing up i noticed that
the child in man never actually died,
simply morphs...
                       so i'm sitting, having an agreeable
drink and find myself ****** into a certain
niche discussion...
  u.f.o.s., but like i already mentioned -
  i'm past looking for believers,
i'm past looking for converts -
      i'm just **** outright apathetic -
       why "indulge" myself with some sort
of pathology, when i can be free of it?
point being, hide & seek evolved from
being a child - as an adult will tell you
it's the mundaneness the only adults can make
of a perfectly formed game -
instead of hide and seek it's just a case
of making the game purely vocal:
  either tell the truth (seek) or tell a lie (hide)...
and believe me when i say that
i don't mind the outright liars -
at least they're being honest about something -
in their denial...
            it's the sceptical party that annoys me...
do they have to be so, *******
sarcastic about "seeming" sensible?!
           - but that's beside the point -
we might be adults, but we're still playing
hide & seek...
         tell a lie or tell the truth -
as children we didn't see a point in making
a concrete choice -
             it was never a case of being either an
agent of good or evil -
we were agents of both good, & evil.
                    personally? i enjoyed the game
of hide & seek as a kid, but to engage in
the adult version, is a bit like jerking off
a limp ****, possible,
                     but a bit like eating an overcooked
beef steak.
