II.II
Has it been two weeks since the college closure
for winter celebrations of the year?
What time she lost to viral germ exposure
with no other home to enjoy Christmas cheer.
For today, she learns, is time of celebration,
of gifts received below a tinselled tree;
Her family are lost to condemnation
of the life and style she chose to follow free.
"Art is no career for a daughter,"
her father told her when she had applied,
"Look you for a husband for you ought-a
continue propagation of our line."
