Orpheus, you think you'll be alright. But you don't know love. and how it has a way of creeping on in. and how it’ll crawl up your skin. and how it’ll invite itself in. And then how. almost effortlessly. and quite suddenly. you’ll no longer be " Orpheus in control". but instead " Orpheus in love". just another lovesick lion. soon to fall from above. But until then, Orpheus. if you find yourself. sitting high on that old shelf. thinking you're better than everyone else. come down, Orpheus. and humble yourself. and eat your pie. with the rest of us.
