Why is the talk of love
So very lively, interesting
Engaging
Never ending
Why is the talk of marriage
So very settling, assuring
Stabilising
Solidifying
Why is the talk of children
So very intense, involving
Contradicting
Celebrating
Why is the talk of life
So very refreshing, rejuvenating
Anticipating
Expecting
Why is the talk of death
So very threatening, exhausting
Dissipating
Devastating
Why is the talk of the soul
So very mystifying, abstracting
Non-grasping
Nothing

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes, and ships, and sealing-wax
Of cabbages, and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings.”
– Lewis Carroll, “Through The Looking Glass”
