I am

looking for

someone

to 

collude with.

And knowing 

my ferocious appetites,

this is most 

likely to be

an entire army,

rather than

one poor sod.

Also, we’re talking 

colluding,

in the sense of 

its purer, Latin root:

to play together.

Now that’s what 

I’m

after.

And yes, I know

that the English

had a go at

this lovely word,

turning its common definition into

something somewhat

more miserable:

to conspire

towards a

nefarious end.

Hmm. 

Let’s take 

this glorious

word, back,

shall we,

in rather conspiritory

fashion,

and find those

kind souls

daily, who

inspire us to

play, expand,

seek out joy,

and have

fun.
