W3: Split (1-1) vs. timeless (1-1) -- Split 5-4

Despite there being somewhat of a Forrest Gump-styled words of wisdom ending that I personally didn't appreciate, not because of the observation as such but rather because I would have preferred for it to be understated, timeless brought a nifty little character portrait to the table - it achieved, despite some pretty knuckle-bitingly questionable wording from time to time, a sense of authenticity. Split was the more consistent in terms of tone and cadence and found a way to funnel it down to the essence of it all with his closer (btw I'm not anal about closers or anything, it just caught my attention here as a favorable point of comparison). Well-written within the confines of a short line count, I highly appreciate this match as a showcase of pointed writing - I did in the end find timeless' piece a little more personable, so my vote goes to him (her?).
