LVIII | Some Are Allowed

❦

There's no

ceremony
when a new patient arrives.

No friendliness.

The rest of us

ignore them
like we
ignore each other.

It doesn't

matter
after all,

whether there's one more,

or two,
or three.

Our lives

don't change

very much.

The only one
who seems

disturbed

by the arrival of the twins

is
Li Wen.

❦

From where I'm painting

horses

by the window,
I see Li Wen

glaring at them

walking into the hall
holding hands,

the girl leading with two sandwiches.

I'm eating
cai-fan

with Tammie,

dinner.

Li Wen

watches them
from Raymond's lap,

sharing an armchair,

whispering

into
each other's ears.

During medicine time,

she ruins

the melody of
Moonlight Sonata

by whispering curses

and insults

about them.
