The Temptation of 'X'

[paradoxology]

Every tale has its hero
Each story its forlorn
And one is always tempted to betray and become more...

Referring to one of the memory chips embedded in the brain and skull of Dr. Anonymous, Dr. (Jake) Francisco Kelley holds the palmoniter at arms length and looks Rex Reed in the eyes,
"Trick of the eye(?), pyrite(?),
or is it gold?
When you take it
I guess you'll know
if he shows it
to upper management."

Meanwhile......
****************************
Jah and Honey are fixated on opposing points of view regarding the daughter of MMI's C.E.O.P. [Chief Executive of Privacy (or: KEY-OP)].

"Jes a date, mon. Ah simple date. I'm not asking her to come marry me!"

"Off to upper management...
A kiss takes you
to the Top Dog
of Memphis by the sea.
Can't you see why?
You know shouldn't trust him.
He didn't build it up
by giving muffins to the sufferin'."

Inside Jah is reeling.

From the kernel of dark within the heart
comes temptation of flames from the spark.
