X-Men

She looked ahead 

and held his little 

hand as they walked 

between the rows of books.

She said, "I don't really 

want to hear about 

X-men. They don't turn 

me on."

I thought to myself,

"That wasn't nice." And

"Should she be sharing what 

turns her on with 

her 7 year old son.

I don't think he really 

cared about what she had 

to say. His size kept him 

from being able to put 

together words - into 

an adequate dogma 

or ample retort.

I wonder why it is we treat 

theses small giants with 

such a hasty lack of concern.
