trust is a matter

of discourse
discourse an embedder of trust

we boys walked for miles and miles
and talked each other into trusting each other
long convoluted sentences filled with other people's ideas

that was last century

now when and where do trusting discussions happen?
ad homina plenty even professors do them
but trusting discussions?
going on a long itineray developing an idea?

life stories?

time for life, time for the story of life,
for the drama that history knows is re-approaching once more?

("What are you talking about? is a disciplinary command! )

trust needs to be emdedded
like the long advertising letter making the sales proposition

to suck you into a marriage with an object
like honey of the flesh eating plant
that catches the insect

sweetening the laws of marriage
that is putting trust into the paragraphs of the law

the sweeter the promise the tougher the law

What a transaction for life!
