experiment

I had to and so
I joined this game
and everyone seemed to play it right.
Except I didn't know the game
and everyone refused to tell me the rules
Except one-
DON'T TELL THE NEXT PLAYER HOW TO PLAY

Turns out,
if you play a game long enough, you somehow play like everyone else.
You run where everyone runs ,
you escape whoever everyone escapes.


Still, even if the next player is my child,
I shouldn't tell him.

But What If
I was still learning the game
And this new player popped up.
What'd happen if I taught him whatever I knew, however inconsistent with the game?

or What'd happen if I hadn't taught him and he followed me anyway?
