4668. JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS

JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS
Having met the Friday mothers I am no worse for
wear  -  passing through them as I was  -  slacks and
jeans and hair. They seemed so self-possessed.
-
The terminal itself, it seethed with quiet. The
getting-to was all the thing  -  cars and strollers
and carriages and bags, and the rattle of all
those kids  -  truly, a hubbub of inequitude.
-
But, I beg to differ this : a man who spends all
his days with kids  -  like that father with two
nine-year olds  -  now that is a different thing.
Though he says he loves his free-time too, what 
can be learned from the winds and wings?
-
'Having met the Dalai Lama,' another says, 'I am
no worse for wear. His wisdom said 'adore the
little words, for there is a wisdom there.''
