When Kurt Vonnegut wrote
'We are what we pretend to be'
he was not writing about sexuality
but he might as well have been.
He continued by warning
'So we must be careful... ',
he surely knew from then on
that his words were doomed to be ignored,
when they became a quotation.
We are never careful enough,
with quotations or with real life.
Maybe Sam Beckett had it best
when he said 'Fail Again, fail better'.
