Polly Post

Polly, pining!
 

       While her husband Peter languishes in jail, Polly (a published poet) pines! When asked how she endures the enforced separation, Polly admits to uncontrollable sobbing in public places.

     She noted that the library was not a very sympathetic place to pine as "the kleenex was in short supply and there was a lot of shushing going on!" Supermarkets are no better, Polly says. "The freezer aisle was crowded and cold. The dairy aisle felt harsh and uncaring. Only around the fruits and vegetables was there any hint of humanity."

        Perhaps there is some truth to the old saying that "It takes a vegetarian to really understand deep suffering!"
