Hug A:
When the youth embrace
What are they hugging?
- Not him, not her.
rather, the firmness of the flesh,
skin freshness,
torso flexibility,
- The youth
the youth
        *
Hug B:
whereas they, the adults,
What are they hugging?
- the longing soul,
the lonely feelings,
the crippled spirit,
-The worn-out maturity.
           *
The first hug - because'.
the other though,
*
The first is young and common
The second is rare and elderly,
The first is superficial,
the second is deep,
The first is for now
In the second it is forever.
