Replying to a comment on:

Woman in the purple cotton jacket(repaired) (Free verse) by INTRANSIT

She talks quietly with the elderly couple, seeming healthy except for her rubberized hands: Small bendable fingers, look alikes, no fancy prosthetics, stainless hooks, or muscle triggers. It took both of her hands to manuever the fork just to pick a single beet slice. I watched her a moment more, paid the bill, and went outside to watch a father showing his son how to hold a stone for skipping.

I think what this poeme needs is some arbitrary line breaks. If I may:-


She talks quietly with
the elderly couple,
seeming healthy except

for her rubberized hands:
Small bendable fingers,
look alikes,

no fancy prosthetics,
stainless hooks, or
muscle triggers.

It took both of her hands
to manouevre, the fork
just to pick

a single beet slice.
I paid my bill
and walked outside

to a father
teaching his son
how to skip stones
across the pond.
