Ping Pong

He: Moral poetry? I don't believe in moral poetry.

She: What do you mean you don't believe in it? It's simply a sublimer form of moral beauty.

He: Moral beauty is wrapping your warmth around a shivering violet. Poetry is alabaster sunsets and overstated feelings.

She: That's cynical and simple. Besides, isn't what you just said one in the same?

He: No. Not really. The "moral" is in the action.

She: Yes, but bringing to life conscious feeling is action.

He: I suppose that's true. Well, I think I'll take the puppy for a walk. Where's the pooper scooper, love?
