on the bus--
poster tubes thrust into his hands by a girl without a seat,
a stranger's baby wearing huge adult-sized sunglasses
(also thrust upon him)
in the clinic--
a small monk's head
a tiny ear clogged with a pea
a needle threaded with blue thread
a red and white ball-
playing catch-
all the medicines behind glass-
with a little boy--a little monk
a packet of mendrup,
a bell, a damaru
before breakfast he's
stitched,
wiped tears
