Enn & Triolet
Boy: What's your name?
Girl: Triolet.
Boy: Pretty name.
Triolet: (Proudly) It's a verse form. Like me.
Boy: You're a poem?
Triolet: (Smiles, and looks down and away, perhaps bashfully)
Boy: You're a poem?
Triolet: (Chews lower lip) If you want. I am a poem, or I am a pattern, or a race of people whose world was swallowed by the sea.
Boy: Isn't it hard to be three things at the same time?
Triolet: What's your name?
Boy: Enn.
Triolet: So you are Enn. And you are a male. And you are biped. Is it hard to be three things at the same time?
