We often learn compassion from the things we have suffered. Those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, had everything given to them, and live in ease tend to lack compassion toward the unfortunate. But those who have suffered understand the depths they came out of. Compassion is the fruit of the things suffered.

At a troubled time when the bedeviling binds on our minds have landed us in a lampoonery of a life and we move boustrophedon between boisterous buffooneries and cacophonous contumelies, literature, if not a splendid cynosure to our goals, is, I daresay, a salubrious salve to our souls that seldom cease to seethe.

with sips of champagne
she spoons down the poem
in bits and pieces
leaving something of herself
unfettered between the lines
