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...

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
