   As everyone IS it,   
   no matter how these, apparent, so-called, others, ARE,   
   many can and do cognize it, recognize it, speak of it,   
   and, yet, no matter how high their kites fly,   
   in the park, there's often an other who   
   cares to play along and string them.   
      
   Neo-Taoists made a game of it, called Ch'ing-t'an.   
      
   There was much wine, in those daze of yore.   
      
   Year by year, at times, a guy would enter the groves   
   and tell everyone of his New Wine, his New Aged Wine,   
   where everyone was full of joy, having been given the keys   
   to the New Age Kingdom by their very own living Master.   
      
   This was no ordinary skeleton key, mind you.   
   Not a skate-key, like those old metal-skate-wheels needed.   
   Not a monk, nor a donk, nor any other regular key.   
      
   And yet, he did not appear to know how he WAS.   
   Which was, naturally, all part of the temporary shadow.
