Dear Lin, pulling off that kind of sharp, wry social commentary within the constraints of a magnetic poetry challenge makes it all the more impressive. A whole philosophy of resistance that is playful, sharp, and lingeringly clever. Blessings, Daniel

I love the challenge of making something that is plausible from the scattering of words. If those words are philosophical, that's a bonus. I thank you for finding it impressive, but it's really all about the availability of the words given. You would do an excellent job, if you haven't already tried.

Moving quietly and perhaps unnoticed could be best, Tom. I have been bitten by the bug, but you know my goal... so I'll keep going.

I've been called a 'smart ass' but hot intelligence is a new one that I humorously and proudly accept, my sweet friend. You need no leveling up when it comes to deciphering my poetry. We walk the same path. I'm meh about the emojis. Most people overuse them. lol I know where you are... Be safe. You get 2... ⭐🌙
