So just what is real?

So just what is real

In this world so false

What is true and authentic?

 

Only you in springtime

Your smile, blossom in your hair

And love just for me

 

Nothing spooks me out

I have no phobias or fears

With you by my side

 

Bless the day you came

Enlisted in this army

Our karass of two

 


Karass - Kurt Vonnegut invented the term for his novel Cat’s Cradle for a closely linked group of people. A karass of only two is strictly speaking a Duprass, but who is quibbling?

    Vonnegut..my that is a sober reminder of slaughterhouse 5.. Real is what you want it to be..a karass sounds like a good way to live it

    With someone by his side, it is certainly a perfect karass of two. Nicely old egg!
