He gave me a gift, terribly good- but it was clearly misunderstood. Good grief, what does it do? looks pretty ugly too! Like huge chunky goggles, there it stood. Deafening silence came over me! Seriously funny, for you see this was his only choice? For me there was no voice? A cruel kindness- how can this be? The sound of silence he broke with shout- Falsely true is what this is about! Awfully good, you see- virtual reality! Definite maybe, you will freak out! Alone together, now bittersweet our short minor crisis, we did meet! In a true fiction world open secrets unfurled! These chunky goggles cannot be beat!
