Will you CC this one?

yeh, that is the way it blows...

and reality is far stranger than fixtion

An encapsulation of the vulnerability

many find themselves snared,

through snippets of dialogue, as if this were a routine,

everyday exchange in real time

or a troubling memory of one.

One can almost taste the desperation

and helplessness to change the situation.

Respect and understanding lost in the maelstrom

Well written "slice of life".

There's the main reason I could never assume a position of leadership with any efficiency. It remains to be seen how I am going to deal with 'procedures' once I start working in the field of psychology. I don't believe in clinical indifference.

After reading, I felt some "choice" words well up and almost let them shoot off my fingers on to the keyboard. And, for that to happen, the cause for such must be very moving to me. Your poems (well most) move me to emotion that lets me know I'm not dead inside. That's poetry...

Got any butterscotch? Werther's?

Sad just like the land taxes went up where do you get the money.A mint wont do..Good write and its sad.K2

You never fail BuK, to bring us, even in the abstract, the slap in the face of reality. Great write this is.

Oh dear, don't go there. Where is compassion and empathy when you need it most?
