his kindness
and impassioned concern
was a welcome relief
which animated her life
although
his classification was pervert
he was no longer required to wear
a pink triangle
he was the only person
who had ever opened her fridge
to see if she had enough food
something that would never have occured
to either her family or friends
Sometimes "perverts" surprise us with kindness and compassion...
ReplyDeleteThe problem with perverts is they appear different then they are it's their armor. It's too bad no one else cared to look after the poor girl
ReplyDeleteLast time I opened someone else's fridge two eggs fell out and smashed on the floor.
ReplyDeletePerverts are presumably that way about one aspect of their lives. For the rest they are normal and in this case caring too. I hope to get rid of my triangle soon as well!
ReplyDeleteHe sounds a good man. It's the simple acts of kindness that affect us most deeply.
