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
not be allowed to go out and play until she
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.............
