once a twinkling boy brought me a kitten to pet and carrying it with his tiny hands he sheltered the beast from a giant fall by grasping too tightly so that it mewed in his arms I tenderly took the thing profferred by this smiling, shining child and soothed its wracking breath with croons and soft caresses as wonderboy smiled and found other entertainment elsewhere fickle and quick we become enthralled and then distracted by greater complications or brighter packaging neglecting the thing which before had consumed the greater part of our attentions? |

I am really enjoying your perspective, your imagery, your intensity. Very nicely done. |
