Given facts  
and reasoned truth…

Can't marry each other
without changing their suit

Some things our intellect
tries to explain

Can you turn off a light
that turns back on again

The reasoning sands
and factual concrete

From thin ice to thick,
what’s now indiscreet

Decisions and choices
are still made the same

But to rent or to own
—real estate of this game
