Puzzled, Resigned

Go figure, said the Jewish
mother who with her husband
celebrated sixty years of marriage
profoundly vested with love so
deeply ingrained and mutual it
might appear to balance the
pain of rejection heavily
freighted with disdain and
malign repugnance for those
who bore and nurtured their
daughter to adulthood, stalling
at emotional maturity. A rejection
so heavily weighted in malice
as to grimly rejoice at the mere
thought of harm threatening 
their elderly lives; from an
adult child whose character
always found a cause to
spurn others yet complained
ceaselessly that life's
opportunities had abandoned
her aspirations. 'Twas ever 
thus; pain self-afflicted and
imagined vengeance: hot,
deadly and unavoidable. For
someone must suffer from 
let-downs in her insufferable life.
