Catch 22 - Alma-Ata

A man came by this evening, dancing like a puppet on his strings.He spoke of engineering. It's obvious he's never built a thing! I finally shook my head and said, "Men like you can't build your peace."His personality, while charming, still betrayed an air of confidenceinconsistent with 'criminal' political dissent. I had to smile and think awhile.I finally shook my head and said,"Men like you can't fake your peace."A man came by this evening, he spoke about my future in this place.I had to smile and think awhile. I finally shook my head and said,"Men like you can't make your peace."
