such vague attentions he gave me

likely to only further spawn his will

such long lacy days left in the hall to sit

with grandmother telling us to be still

or we will

sees fit

twiddling our tiny dirty little thumbs

we'd knowingly giggle

until grandma says 'Be gone!'

and as far as his intentions go

they too just went.............
