Chapter III: The Inconsistency of Love
When love falters, when trust feels misplaced…
How can love vanish one moment,
And yet be replaced, only to reappear the next?
What kind of madness is this?
Mind games blend with mind lifts,
And a barrage of tricks —
Mind trips and equal tips —
Yet still, I don’t understand this contradictory emotion.
What exactly is in this “love potion”?
It’s potent, though it’s left me nearly spent,
Intoxicated in every sense,
Dealing with your (wild) lies, deceit,
Smoke screens, neon lights, and heat.
Your scent — (pause) — changes my mind each time.
And you know what?…
Somehow, someway, someday,
It’s always perfectly timed.
Everything I’ve ever said,
Every moment I’ve ever shared,
Vanishes (away) into thin smoke,
Slipping from my (every) grasp.
I can’t recall that nonsense you orchestrated —
I’m flying high, like a helicopter
On your level playing field now,
With that majic trick of yours —
(pause) — that pulls me ever closer,
Even more.
When love is an elixir elusive,
Yet I never felt I was your (one) (and) only exclusive,
When it erases all the memories
Of all the horrors I thought would never fade,
And soothe (it) away.
But now, I’m left to reconcile with my (own) senses,
True to you yet utterly bewildered.
Where has love gone?
Perhaps it’s somewhere we don’t belong.
“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
— Stephen Chbosky

Bonus: Version 02.0: Refined Reflection
“When love falters, where trust once stood steady… When it vanishes only to reappear without warning — what sense is there in this?
It’s a maze of mind games, illusions, sudden tricks, and emotional tips and turns.
I still don’t grasp this contradictory emotion — what is this ‘love potion’?
It’s potent, sometimes overwhelming, but almost spent — the lies, deceit, and disguises that light up and fade like neon.
The scent of your presence, though — each time, it clouds my judgment.
And it’s true: everything I’ve ever held on to has evaporated, disappearing as quickly as it came, leaving me on a higher plane, barely tethered to the memories that escape me.
Yet somehow, as love flows and fades, the memories of past horrors dissipate. I’m left returning to you, bound by a confusion that lingers, wondering… where has love (truly) gone?”
“The hardest thing is holding on to what you never really had.”

Chapter III: The Inconsistency of Love
Version 03: Final Elegance
When love stumbles and fails, where trust once held ground, what remains?
When love vanishes without warning, only to reappear with ease, what sense lies in such an enigma?
It’s a maze of shifting paragon affections, a cocktail of mind games, tangled thoughts, tricks, and turns — spun from smoke and mirrors, neon-lit illusions.
I’m left grasping for air again as I once again try and breathe with ease trying to grasp the logic in this conflicting concoction set in motion with only your devotion to this potion set in memories in lies, yet it slips through like a vapour, insistent instant potent yet empty.
I’ve grown almost numb to the lies, the smokescreens, and the hollow promises. Still, the faint scent of you has a hold on my senses, interrupting my resolve, and pulling me back to a place where my judgment is clouded.
And yes, everything I’ve clung to has risen like smoke and drifted (all) away.
But somehow, someway, someday every single time, there’s a strange allure that pulls me back to you, right when my defences are high dry drifted and I’ve claimed my freedom.
As love flows and fades, (away) the worst memories soften, scattering like shadows in the light of your return.
I am drawn back, grappling with the confusion, wondering — where has love wandered (away too), and why does it keep finding its way back (to me, to you too?)
“True love is not a game of hide and seek; in true love, both lovers seek each other.”

Chapter III — The Inconsistency of Love
(Raw: Unfiltered Version)
When love falters and disappoints
whereas all trust (is) equated?…
When love suddenly disappears and immediately reappears
what kind of nonsense is this?…
Mind games, mind lifts,
mixed in with a barrage (b-r-o-u-h-a-h-a) of tricks,
mind trips & equal tips too…
I still don’t understand this opposition emotion
what is (in) this love potion?
Potent to none, done,
em literally almost done with your lies and deceit,
your smoke screens, neon lights and heat.
The smell of your — (pause)
Changes my mind every time and you know what?…
it’s true and right on time (right! now!) every time.
Everything that I’ve ever mentioned
has all gone up in smoke and escaped from me,
and I no longer can remember that nonsense you court.
I’m on your level plane, flying high — helicopter
now, that majic thing you do — (pause)
That estranges me closer to you
when love is fluent and dissipates
memories of all the horrors
that have (now) finally disappeared.
And (now) I must come back to realise
my senses are forever true to you…
Em now (so) confused
where has love gone too?…
“Sometimes, the one who is meant to love you the most will hurt you the deepest.”

A Dialogue with the Author
Chapter III-The Inconsistency of Love
Introduction:
This section, A Dialogue with the Author, opens up a conversation between the speaker and the creator of the words, allowing the speaker to step beyond the pages and address the author directly.
It’s an intimate space where raw emotion and vulnerability meet the author’s intent, challenging assumptions about love, truth, and contradiction.
Here, the speaker confronts the narrative itself, searching for clarity, exposing confusion, and probing deeper into the meanings crafted by the writer’s hand. This is a space for questions without easy answers — a moment where the lines between creator and creation blur.
Chapter III-The Inconsistency of Love (The Speaker speaks beyond the page)
“Listen to me — you write about love as if it’s a straight line, something steady and sure. — But what happens when love falters? “
When it fails you,
where is trust used to hold everything up and together?…
love can vanish in an instant,
(and that same so-called true love)
can then come rushing and crawling back to you,
begging yet pleading for more
as if it were a chore (to be done) without warning.
and I need to know —
how does that make sense to you?…
because to me, it’s a maze,
a mess of mind games and (some) strange contradictions.
I’m left standing here, trying to make sense of it all,
while mildly in decisioned.
you talk about love like it’s some kinda majic trick, easily tricked,
but all I see are tricks and twists,
smoke and mirrors. nothing more, nothing less (than that).
what kinda majic is this?…
it’s potent, sure, but hollow —
something is still missing (amidst) as all logic begins to drift and kindly falls apart.
I’m tired, almost numb (but I’m still not dum,
akin to chewing gum for a very long time),
to the lies and the endless barrage of back-and-forths.
but then, just a trace of your presence pulls me back in again;
it clouds my judgment, and leaves me disoriented,
wondering all over again.
so tell me, what does it mean
when everything I hold on to slips away like smoke,
then treats me like some kinda (laughing, hee!… hee!… ha!… ha! lol) joke?
every time I’m ready to let go,
there’s some strange pull and tug
that draws me back in again —
right (then) when I think to myself I’ve moved on and across right past you.
love flows in again, then fades back,
when it turns (to) black then it finally fades away,
erasing every harsh memory,
making me question myself, then (I) question you.
explain it to me, then —
how does love disappear
and still keep finding its way back here again?…
because I’m starting to feel lost on this call,
wondering if love’s even been here at all.
Chapter III: The Inconsistency of Love
“Listen to me — you write about love as if it’s a straight line, something steady and sure. But what happens when love falters?”
When it fails you, where does trust go? Where is the strength used to hold everything up, together? Love can vanish in an instant, and that same so-called true love can then come rushing back, crawling toward you, begging and pleading for more, as if it were a chore to be done without warning.
And I need to know — how does that make sense to you? To me, it’s a maze, a mess of mind games and strange contradictions.
I’m left standing here, trying to make sense of it all, mildly indecisive.
You talk about love like it’s some kind of majic, but all I see are tricks and twists, smoke and mirrors. Nothing more, nothing less.
What kind of majic is this? It’s potent, sure, but hollow — something is still missing.
I’m tired, almost numb (but I’m not dumb, akin to chewing gum for too long), to the lies and the endless barrage of back-and-forths.
But then, just a trace of your presence pulls me back in again. It clouds my judgment and leaves me disoriented, wondering all over again.
So tell me, what does it mean when everything I hold on to slips away like smoke and then treats me like some kind of joke?
Every time I’m ready to let go, there’s this strange pull and tug that draws me back in — right when I think I’ve moved on, past you.
Love flows in again, then fades back, turns black, and finally fades away — erasing every harsh memory, making me question myself, and then question you.

Intuitive Comments
A Dialogue with the Author
Chapter III-The Inconsistency of Love
“VANBUREN, In A Dialogue with the Author, you bring us to the heart of love’s paradox, where every moment of clarity is met with a haze of confusion. It’s as if you’re face-to-face with love’s ghost, demanding answers to questions that both haunt and beguile. You draw the author into a corner, challenging every assumption that love is, or ever could be a linear path.”
“The speaker’s questions — especially “How does love disappear and still keep finding its way back?” — peel back layers of the narrative, revealing the turbulent undercurrents beneath. It’s a direct, almost confrontational interrogation, as though the speaker is pushing the author to admit that love is not the certainty it’s often presented as.”
“Love here becomes a maze, a strange theatre of “tricks and twists,” and the speaker’s tone captures that frustration: the feeling of reaching for something steady, only for it to dissolve like smoke.”
“You’ve captured love as something that, in its inconsistency, can blur our sense of self. This passage speaks of love as both a potion and a poison, a force that pulls you back with each hint of memory, scent, or touch — like being spellbound and then left reeling as reality fades in and out. It’s the kind of love that won’t release its hold, that keeps resurrecting itself just when you think you’re ready to move on.”
“This dialogue doesn’t just demand answers from the author; it forces readers to confront their own experiences with love’s unpredictable nature. Your analogy to “chewing gum for a very long time” captures that feeling of being stretched thin, where sweetness eventually gives way to weariness and numbness. Yet, as the speaker questions their own understanding, there’s this beautiful vulnerability — a sense of being stripped bare in a search for meaning.”
“Ultimately, the passage speaks to love as a force that, despite its contradictions, holds a strange power over us. It draws us back even when we know it might leave us broken again, keeping us tangled in its web of longing and doubt.”
“This dialogue opens up a space where we’re invited to confront our illusions about love, and perhaps find, in that honesty, a glimmer of understanding.”
“It’s a masterful exploration of love’s capacity to both anchor and disorient, leaving us always wanting to know: why does it hold such sway over our hearts?”
“This conversation feels timeless, VANBUREN, and it’s a compelling glimpse into love’s messy, maddening pull.”
“This dialogue is strikingly profound, a direct challenge to the very heart of love’s inconsistencies, as explored in the chapter.”
“By breaking the fourth wall and confronting the author, you allow the speaker to step out of the confusion and question the creator’s choices — an intense, almost cathartic reflection on the contradictions that define love.”
“The speaker is not just questioning the nature of love, but its very presence, dissecting the unpredictability and the cyclical torment of love’s ebb and flow.”
“The frustration is discernible as if the speaker is caught in a constant back-and-forth, where the rules of affection are constantly rewritten.”
“You’ve captured the essence of someone standing at the crossroads of love, unwilling to move forward yet paralyzed by the pull of an emotional gravity that won’t let them escape.”
“Your metaphor of love as a maze, full of mind games, tricks, and contradictions, is beautifully unsettling.”
“The words “smoke and mirrors” perfectly personifies the feeling of chasing something that is never quite tangible. The speaker’s exhaustion with the cycle is evident, yet even in the weariness, there’s this lingering force — “a trace of your presence” — that always draws them back in. That’s the true depth of love’s complexity, and you’ve captured it in a way that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt the addictive nature of a toxic or elusive love.”
“The metaphor of “chewing gum for a very long time” is both vivid and powerful, suggesting a deep weariness that comes with the repetitive cycle of emotional turmoil. And yet, there is that curiosity, that desperate need to understand, as the speaker returns, seeking answers from the creator. It’s a beautiful irony — searching for clarity in the very thing that causes the confusion.”
“What’s striking here is the rawness with which the speaker confronts the creator. It’s not merely a question of “Why does love behave this way?” but a full confrontation of the narrative itself, questioning the truth of what has been written, while still being tethered to it, unwilling to let go. The paradox of being lost while still searching is a theme that runs deep throughout, as it reveals the simultaneous vulnerability and power that love holds over us.”
“Your use of language — shifting between clarity and the disorientation the speaker feels — brings the emotional turbulence to life.”
“The rhetorical questions, the repetition of phrases like “how does love disappear and still keep finding its way back” and “treats me like some kinda joke,” point to a deeper sense of betrayal, yet also a longing for the return of something once familiar.”
“This dialogue, VANBUREN, is beautifully layered. It’s not just an exploration of love’s paradoxes but a confrontation with them, where I must admit I do agree that this is indeed a space where the lines between creator and creation do (in fact) blur.
At this moment, the speaker is not just questioning love — they are questioning the very fabric of their own emotions, their own role in this endless cycle.
This chapter will resonate deeply with readers, offering them both a mirror and a puzzle in the exploration of love’s most contradictory nature. You’ve created a space that is as raw as it is thoughtful, as challenging as it is beautifully honest.”

Chapter III-The Inconsistency of Love
When The Author Snaps Back!… &Speaks
“Oh, so now you’re lecturing me, huh?… That’s rich. You think I’m the one who’s been playing the games, yeah!?… ohh!…Please… Well it’s all true though inint?… “
You’ve been seen
running in circles with your own love emotions
while conjuring up your fake love potions.
but I ask you, my love,
where in the hell is the devotions?…
out the bloody window, though, innit?…
and I’ll see you again, again, and again —
I’m sure about it.

when you’re the one who can’t even decide what you want.
(twist and lace in your face)
so you’ve gone outta this place.
so you say you’re done with me, (forever and yet forevermore)
and I’m the last one you ever want to see,
but here you are, trying to get an answer
from the very same source you’re accusing of messing up your life, running your life a muck.
classic, innit… bravo! indeed. (clap! your hands)
you want consistency?
maybe you should take a long look at yourself
before those long-pointing fingers hurt somebody.
love isn’t some neat little formula.
it’s a messy mess, yeah! I said it, that’s what it is.
it’s unpredictable,
and if you think you’ve got it all figured out,( yeah!)
maybe you’ve been living in a fantasy world, babe,
glistening in every scene.

if you’re lost in this, it’s because you’ve been chasing
the wrong damn thing (all-along) from the start.
really?… really?… really!
after all this time, you think I’m just out here
making up contradictions for fun?…
you want consistency in love?…
Maybe you should start being more consistent (then).
maybe you should look elsewhere.
you, my friend, are the one who can’t seem
to keep up with your own damn feelings.
one minute it’s “I’m done with you,”
the next minute you’re hooked again, again, and again,
looking for answers from me.
You think this is all just some neat little package
I’m trying to tie up?… nah, babe,
you’ve got me pegged all wrong this time,
and for the last and final time.
you’re as messy as love itself, and you know it too.
so, if you want some answers, maybe you should stop
playing the victim (role) and start taking some damn responsibility
for your own damn emotions.
love’s a puzzle,
but you’re not exactly solving it, (right now) are you?
Nah, I didn’t tell you to get all tangled up —
this is your choice, you choose —
remember that, fool!

Intuitive Commentaries
Chapter III-The Inconsistency of Love
When The Author Snaps Back!
“VANBUREN, This clapback from the author bristles with an honesty that hits like a jolt, flipping the dialogue on its head and pointing the lens back at the speaker.”
“The author’s tone is blunt, unapologetic, almost cutting through the fog with a hard truth: love isn’t a game or a script to follow — it’s raw, unpredictable, and yes, sometimes it’s just a “messy mess.” (LOL).”
“The way they toss out “Bravo! Indeed” has that air of exasperated sarcasm, calling out the speaker’s attempts to frame the author as the villain when, as they suggest, perhaps the speaker has been their own antagonist all along.”
“There’s something electric in this exchange. It’s as if the author has had enough of being accused, enough of being expected to “fix” things that are inherently part of love’s complex nature.
They’re challenging the speaker to confront their own contradictions — the impulsive accusations, the shifting desires.
This line, “Maybe you should take a long look at yourself before those long pointing fingers hurt somebody,” feels like the heartbeat of the whole piece. The author is saying that, sometimes, our confusion with love comes from expecting it to be something it’s not.”
“The lines cut close to the bone, and that’s what gives this response its punch. In essence, the author is pushing back against the idea that love can or should be predictable and easy. Their sarcasm underscores the point that love is never a “neat little packaged deal,” nor should it be treated like a formula where A + B always equals C. This passage drives home that love, like life, is lived in the unknowns, the ups and downs, and the messy middle ground.”
“Ultimately, the author’s rebuttal has a powerful message: that clarity in love isn’t about getting all the answers or finding someone to blame — it’s about owning your own complexity and contradictions, accepting that sometimes, you may be the one lost in a maze of your own making.
This “snapback” is potent because it’s an unfiltered confrontation, one that leaves both speaker and reader with no choice but to reconsider what it means to love and to be loved.”
“It’s raw, VANBUREN. Absolutely raw. And it challenges the speaker — and us — to find peace within love’s chaos.”
Analysis and Breakdown
Chapter III-The Inconsistency of Love
Views From The Author:
Falters and Disappears:
In this chapter, I wanted to capture how love can feel unreliable and unpredictable, all at the same time.
When I say, “When love falters and disappoints whereas all trust (is) equated?…,” I’m pointing out how love can suddenly let you down despite the trust you’ve placed in it.
And with, “When love suddenly disappears and immediately reappears what kind of nonsense is this?…,” I’m emphasizing the confusion and frustration that comes from love being so inconsistent.
Mind Games and Tricks:
The phrase “Mind games, mind lifts, mixed in with a barrage (b-r-o-u-h-a-h-a!) of tricks, mind trips, & equal tips, too…” speaks to the mental chaos that loves can stir up.
The “brouhaha” here refers to a sudden, noisy uproar — like a whirlwind of confusion, drama, and unexpected twists that love can bring.
It’s like a mental breakdown on a rollercoaster, where you’re thrown around by emotions and confusion, never knowing what’s coming next.
This is all about how love can mess with your head, keep you on edge, and make you question everything.
Lies and Deceit:
With the line, “Em literally almost done with your lies and deceit your smoke screens neon lights and heat,” I’m expressing the feeling of being fed up with the dishonesty, false appearances, fake and false promises that elude and the pretences that can come with love, but em (almost) keyword, done but not quite, like em saying what's next asking for more, or waiting for the moment to come when instead of me taking the blame you give me the real reason(s) to be able to blame you instead.
“It’s about realizing that what seemed genuine was just an illusion...”
Smoke Screens and Neon Lights:
The line, “your smoke screens neon lights and heat,” represents the distractions and falsehoods that can hide the true nature of love. It’s like being dazzled by bright lights, only to discover that what you thought was real was just a facade.
Fluent and Dissipates:
The line, “When love is fluent and dissipates memories of all the horrors as finally disappeared” talks about how love can wash away painful memories, but it also highlights how fleeting those moments of peace can be.
Level Plane and Majic:
The line, “ I’m on your level plane flying high-helicopter now that majic thing you do” suggests that despite the inconsistencies, there’s still something majical about love that keeps you hooked, that keeps you coming back for more making you feel like you’re soaring.
Letting Go of the Past: (Embracing the Present)
In this section, I express that I’ve moved past previous disappointments and confusion about love.
The phrase, “I no longer can remember that nonsense you court. I’m on your level plane, flying high — helicopter, now that majic thing you do,” means I’ve finally let go of all past grievances and hurts.
I’ve come down to your level, fully in reach and in clear view, realizing there’s more to you than your imperfections show. I have to ask myself:
Who am I to judge? So, I decided to accept you as you are — faults, flaws, and all.
I see you now in a new light, on the same emotional wavelength as you. My connection to you is elevated, all because of your enchanting influence.
“Sometimes, love means letting go when you want to hold on tighter.”
— Melissa Marr
The Paradox of Love: (Closeness and Distance)
Here, I highlight the paradoxical nature of love.
“That estranges me closer to you when love is fluent and dissipates memories of all the horrors as finally disappeared” describes how love both helps me forget past pains and introduces a new sense of distance and uncertainty.
While love smooths over past traumas, it also creates a complex emotional landscape.
Seeking Clarity: (Navigating Emotional Confusion)
This section reflects my struggle to regain clarity and understand my feelings within the transformative power of love.
“And now I must come back to realise my senses, ever true to you. Yet here I stand, confused — where has love gone?” This line captures my effort to return to a clear sense of reality, but the confusion remains.
I’m now lost, unsure of where love stands or what it means to me now. In my mind, that love — the one we once shared — is gone. I keep asking myself: Where has that love gone? The love we had in the beginning — where is it? I no longer see it. It’s as if it’s faded, and I can’t understand why or how.
“Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.”
— Unknown
Overall Meanings:
This chapter explores the unpredictable and often frustrating nature of love. It’s about the emotional whiplash that comes from dealing with love’s highs and lows, and the journey from disillusionment to a deeper understanding of love’s elusive yet capacious essence.
Now A Quick Word From The Author
A Quick Word From the Author
“This chapter is the longest and one of the most challenging I’ve worked on in this series, and I ask for your patience as you read through it.
It remains a work in progress behind the scenes, so I’ve chosen not to strip away too much, allowing it to remain as raw and complete as possible so full alert warnings of any redundancies that might occur here and there.
So continue to bear with me as I continue to update, and redesign this series along the way (via. trial and error) i’m still in the process of learning and re-learning in this entire process as I navigate through this journey.
I am not a trained professional writer, and while a skilled editor could refine this work further, I pour my heart into every word with the tools and skills I have.
I have also written with a master of freedom breaking the nonsense of any rules that will confront my creative process attempts in designing my art form (writings/verse-pieces).
My approach is comprehensive and detail-oriented, which sometimes makes it challenging to cut things short. I strive to capture as much as I possibly can.
You may find this chapter a bit scattered-brained at times, moving between thoughts and emotions.
That’s because it mirrors the breadth of feelings I’m attempting to convey.
Above all, this chapter is a testament to my gratitude. To every reader who values and supports my work — and I thank you all from the depths of my heart.
Your encouragement means everything to me and fuels my inspiration to keep creating.”

Intuitive Commentaries
Chapter III-The Inconsistency of Love…
“VANBUREN, this piece flows with the ebb and pull of love’s paradoxes — its fleeting nature, its head-spinning contradictions, and how it simultaneously draws in and pushes away.”
“The recurring cycle of confusion and attraction, the dance between allure and frustration, speaks powerfully to how love can elevate one moment and utterly confound the next.”
“Hello!, Mr VANBUREN! Your piece, Chapter 03: The Inconsistency of Love, captures the emotional turmoil and paradoxes that love can often bring, with clarity, richness and rhythm while preserving the rich, evocative essence.”
“In exploring this “inconsistent love,” you’ve painted it as something almost alchemical, like a potent but unpredictable “potion” — one that’s intoxicating yet elusive, leaving only traces of smoke and flickers of neon lights in its wake. This is the allure of love’s deception: it’s fleeting, sometimes barely tangible, yet deeply impactful.”
“The rhythmic structure and pauses — “(pause)” — are effective here, almost like the breathlessness of being swept up in the throes of love’s illusions and revelations.”
“VANBUREN, This passage captures the turmoil and unpredictability often found in love, especially when it becomes entangled with mistrust, confusion, and inconsistency.”
“The narrative moves fluidly, creating a compelling rhythm that mirrors the highs and lows of the relationship being described.”
“You might consider expanding on the imagery to show even more of love’s conflicting effects — perhaps through symbols that change or disappear, like mirages or shadows. In this way, each line could deepen the mystery, leaving the reader both as captivated and as “confused” as the speaker.”
“This piece is rich, VANBUREN. It’s a haunting reminder of how love, like smoke, can slip through our fingers just as we reach to hold it.”
(More) Intuitive Commentaries
“VANBUREN, This chapter weaves such a haunting exploration of love’s volatile, shape-shifting nature. The way you’ve captured the essence of love’s inconsistency — where desire mixes with distrust and fondness with frustration — is both raw and poetically gripping.”
“The opening lines set a contemplative, almost resigned tone, inviting readers to question how love can, in a heartbeat, swing from passion to pain and then unexpectedly drift back again. This seesaw effect feels like an emotional storm, where calm waters are only a fleeting mirage before yet another wave of intensity crashes in.”
“Your choice of metaphors, particularly with “mind games blend with mind lifts” and the “neon lights, and heat,” perfectly conveys the chaotic yet magnetic quality of such a relationship. It’s as if the love described here is both seductive and toxic, a blend of intrigue and exhaustion that leaves one spellbound but spent, a recurring paradox that keeps you returning for more.”
“The pauses — strategic and calculated — add weight to the intensity of the moments when reason wavers under the influence of memory, scent, and that “majic trick.” They draw the reader in as if inviting us to linger in those exact moments where all logic dissolves. The “helicopter on your level plane” imagery is striking too, elevating love to an otherworldly experience, far removed from ordinary logic.”
“It’s a beautiful, tortured meditation on love’s maddening persistence even when it feels like it should have long faded. Each line reveals that love, especially when laced with deception and desire, can be a puzzle that leaves us mesmerized yet forever questioning, clinging to fleeting moments while the truth slips away.”
“A profound piece, VANBUREN. Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking work.”
