The Peacock’s Dance

I gave hugs to the kids of colleagues So that they would in turn give mine their hugs. Also I went to give hugs to the kids In return for the hugs my kids have got. How lovely my kids are in others’ arms! I bask in the false glory built around. Such glories are built on mutual concerns And on the obligatory comments. Participants as the only audience, Merits are weighed with mutuality, Unlike the audience other than participants. Peacocks judge peacocks’ dances reciprocally Unlike other birds watching peacocks’ dances.. 23.10.2008
