confessing to be selfish   confessing to be selfless   making your mind up   come to cover up   you hesitate to agree   based more on social duty   more than mutual respect   increasingly mistified   suggestive to the end   stressing the habits   the limits and obsessions   of human character   draw no conclusions   up the wall   off a cliff   into the arms   of perfect strangers   cover and cover up   ask rethorically:   what just happened?
