a crossword puzzle
intersecting and directly above
more ominous
the pathology of cryptology
complex, albeit nonexistent wishful thinking
found almost anywhere and creating patterns
encryption technology
with dubious cryptograms
making the rounds
a guilty confession of love
embedded in
spectacular sources
claiming ciphers.
