Hello David, I love the little twist. Oh, the secrets we cover in the dark of the eve. Both philosophical and psychological! Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

but, it's also true, that what one does in plain sight may differ from that behind night's curtain. it's funny, i think, i started out more with the original concept in my first comment, but morphed to the second concept. Sometimes, my poems control me more than vice-versa -lol!

Thanks Daniel! I was thinking about how I feel like I'm two different people. In the daytime, I'm wiser, have judgement and will think twice. At night, sometimes, that judgement falls away.
