What action
does not grate
on someone?
a parental kiss
a lover’s touch
a friend’s assurance
Even these can be
pulled away from.

I am really enjoying your poems, Nanette. I often wish I could respond here with an image…I am also looking forward to the visual form they will finally take for the exhibit. kate
do all actions have the potential to grate on us or only those actions performed by living beings? I guess the elements could grate on a person. I guess anything that can act on us, without our control, has the potential to grate. just thinking it through here. humans sure are prickly!
