TIT FOR TAT
Paul Weinman
The erratic plit plat of melting snow
beats on the bodies of older patients
-- some still twisting naked in complaint
. They're set out somewhat at random times
but that's more related to their kids
-- each child reacts differently
each has her or his level of tolerance
that edge beyond which revenge reigns.
My own inadequacies in sensitivities ...
because I'd rarely been hugged ...
hadn't been able to do it myself ...
ask my kids if you don't believe me.
