Genuflection

  She bends, broken; life has stripped all illusory . power and prestige from bandaged eyes. She knows now how poor, . blind, pitiful and naked she has been all along. So . she does what she should have done long ago – genuflects.

        Choke-choke, cough-hack-cough–just the thought of a cigar makes me green! But I’ll take the hug, you betcha!
