You should not have Could not have, done it any other way.

Meet Ould. Pronounced 'ood'. 

A trouble maker.

Though, ironically, particularly interested in the concept of 'Responsibility.'

Problem.
Ould; he gets in the way.

The other kids; who aimlessly and joyfully bask in their innocent and childish
desires...are chargrined by him.

Turn left now, ever so carefully towards the linguists playground, where ould will meet
Sh... 

None other than his most dangerous and troubling of friends.
Brothers of crime.
Whimsical brushes of fate and fortune stand no chance against them, so colloquially known now as Should.

Should, be together.
And often fight between themselves; for Should (though a responsible pair) have no direction.
No boundaries..
As usually defined by their superiors.
Should; camouflage.
Some see them green, others blue, black and white or grey.
But black and white they are not.
Nor grey nor blue nor green.
They are only subject to, and full of;
Popular opinion.

With respite from his breakup, Ould may continue.
Turn right now; and with a little hope meet C.
Could are full of possibilities; so open to the future.
Considerate of all things.
But with the naievety of a babe, and with the bitterness of should (still resoundingly fresh in his mind)...
Ould (now could) combines forces with Have.
Could have be, no; could have been...
And are a torturous trio.
Forever, infecting the posibilities shared by Could, with the past.
Now stipped of hopeful charm, to be infected by unsettleing regret.

The playground is now rife with conflict.
Could it be, that it Should have.
Would have.
Could have..
been this way?
All they really wanted was to be.
How misguided, now, are the rest of us?
Unsure of what is!
Black or white? or grey?
Preoccupied not with what was, but what might have been.

There is principle CHAOS, amongst the people.
''Ould- be left alone for now'', he says- in all omnipotent authority.
You see, there is no freedom in Ould.

No freedom surrounds him.
