I have a secret

I have a secret. Everyone in this room has a secret. Everyone in town has a secret. It is a job of conversation to tantalize out one person from the other these secrets. Neither do I know the half of mine. Nor do you yours. We, through conversation, help. Yet there is also a conundrum: What are we here for, together? A secret plus a conundrum. Two separate things. A smaller and a larger. A single and a multiple. But seldom do we notice how our shadows play! There, on the sidewalk. There, behind us. There, out of sight. Consider conversation as an active agent. With its own purposes. A third level of hidden: a mystery.
