Secrets

It is hard to keep secrets in
small towns, but it can be done.
Secrets in second world are even
harder. We depend on it too much.

We need to be assured that the
code that manages our use and labor
and votes is not being tampered with.
It all must be open and transparent.

And it is. But there are other places
where we don't want to be watched.
All that can be known is that someone
had their secret time in a secret world.

If someone goes into the woods alone
or goes into their room and closes
the door, we don't pry or wonder.
We all need it. We all give it.
