Roughing on in sad deplorable state
            Looking for pure illumination
            The breasts of life so few
            The blocked attempts to pet so many
            Now and then a single step from fling
            The mouth open in charge
            Tearing out of love or desire.
            But tearing ...
            Til a loud scream is heard or
             A fist is thrown of impulse
             One: I did not mean to hurt ..
             Other: I did not mean to retaliate.

                                 Bruce A. Cohen
