Ray,
Ok, got you. Thanks for the clarification. I'll think about it.

Tom,
It is vague and wishy-washy, because it is vague and wishy-washy. Superficially it is a nostalgic reminisce without overtones of religion (at least as far as my intentions).
"whitewashing COVERS rather than REMOVES"
of course it does, that was rather the point. I think if you read "Young Goodman Brown" you will see the same use of ambiguity here as there. One is let with shit in each hand, one being real shit, the other only illusion and having no way to tell them apart when one's nose starts itching.
I will concede the opening punctuation to general consensus in the same way Pilot said (in Jesus Christ Superstar, anyway), but to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him. :p

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
