RE: KNIP BOREDOM IN THE BUD!!

the spanish flu 1920

of the four poems..., I like and choose this one that seems to be closest to the core of your inmost concerns, reading so clean, it dragged me into that survIval.

I see an accident victim and I feeeeel the injuries. A doctor sees the same victim and is able to put those emotions in something I can only imagine is like a basket in the back room of mental chores [or things needing to be done] and with controlled calm, is able to help.
I couldn't even get a splinter out...
And now, as you slowly move from the environment that demands one keep feelings out of the operating room, I like this poem that picks up the intensity of the veins of death, dying, controlling life, helping survivors, sometimes helpless...

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
