Having lived in a status seclude
with the children married and living away
locked to one another in a schedule’
a new entry
causes a flutter in a way
forcing an adjustment in the include
that makes us dislocated for a day
spending time having in mind our own plans
each one not intruding into another
we experience a proximity in stance
frequently quarrelling with one another
reconciling easily and that too at once
The routine has been so for a while
keeping us happy in a style.

One reply on “A Dislocation”
Proximity can produce increased stress when it is a new pattern of living.
