What? No Leeches?We must weigh and poke you

We must see you dress

We must see you walk

And

We must test coordination

We must test your chest

We see the weight and poke

We see you dress well

We see you walk but favor one side

Childhood injuries? We'll fix those

The Way a Day Can Be I was fourteen and finally a nanny. I started babysitting at that apartment complex down the hill when I was nine. My Mom liked that. She used to show me a lot about what to do with the littler kids, like how to play games with them and how make sure they didn't fight and how to teach them stuff, even if they didn't want to learn any of it.

But now I live up the hill with the pastor and his wife and their little girl, a tiny monster dressed in real nice clothes, blessed with curly blonde hair and big blue eyes to hide behind. The pastor and his wife, Reverend and Mrs. King, were alw

I read this story in quite a positive light.

To me, the story implies that the "Neighbours" will cease to be strangers when they see the other people in their street in trouble. ^^ Nicely done.

*xlntwtch May 16, 2012 Writer

You read it the way I meant it. ^^

*kittykittyhunter May 16, 2012

That's awesome!

ah very good. At first I thought remove the fences to face the storm but then I thought "good fences make good neighbors". From this perspective I see a powerful piece. A comment on human behavior but also a call to it - a command, or perhaps more fitting, a plea.

*xlntwtch May 15, 2012 Writer

...

It's a "plea."

*0hgravity May 15, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

welcome!

Interesting... It's almost as if the person is embracing the disaster by removing these barbed fences, thus removing protection, perhaps, and stripping one's self of these additional things... perhaps to embrace or to confront it all better.

At least, that's how I interpret it. It's quite a profound piece I think.

*xlntwtch Sep 16, 2011 Writer

I saw it as a removal of distance between neighbors- a removal of even animosity [often due to ignorance] -and thus a coming together of neighbors to help each other in the face of disasters, and maybe make friends with each other by the time it's over.

^3wyl Sep 18, 2011 Hobbyist Photographer

Ooh, that's quite interesting!
