there is an obscene colour to the Family Holiday gauntlet

                                                               nearly hurtled  nearly cleared

until next year

if next is granted

                      three did not make this year

while one can admire the pretty watercolour

                                                what to make of the stark executed  pencil sketches

candle smudging  frank caricatures

                                      Who?

Please, you know damnwell who . . . damnwell whos.

    he is not blind

he deftly understands the necessitythe obsequious desire for the patented commercial Brightside

                                                                                                         but to denigrate disparage deny  the other very real side   the sadness  unhappiness

ostrich head buried in the sand

                                   is unacceptable  is unreal

pain sorrow  exhibits

                         it cannot turn on the demand for the comfort of others who do not feel like

    demands are made

some submit

                others avoid the confrontation

he avoided it so he didnt hurt someone

                                           because  he  knew  he would

he was not generous

he felt too deeply
