	Some find cocoons in bottlez
	others in cults
	some in cyber-relations
	others waith queer dolts.

	To emerge from cocoons

	ta face uncertainty
	'n shape fate.


Wan-Sze: (shaking his head) This poem iz weird. Like all universalist messages, 
         it fails when examined closely.

Nadia: 	 Yeah. And who said the world iz "insane"? Isn't the world a mirror ah who we 
         are & nuddin' more?

Will: 	 I can't make any meaningful statements about the entire world. At best, 
         I can offer a few tentative hypotheses about myself. Beyond that, why conjecture?
