such nice sweet people
very partial to meddling
tangle you to death

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
These are great. I love the “tangle you to death” image. I like that the final poem is so restful after the stressful, intense situations described in the first two poems.
Tangling up people is how I feel is the life aim of meddling people. Eeek. And I have always admired how restful an ad for a mattress or a bed is, with a person in it sleeping…I feel rested just looking at it.
Relate to the first one.
Yes. And why it is so common? I wish I knew.
Dunno.
Mercy – #989 really described some of the elderly neighbors (not to speak ill of the dead). Now that the neighborhood “watch” is over we don’t have to worry that rumors will start if we have friends over or when son#2 visits…
Yes, how true. Curiosity and judgement – two things that can exponentially reinforce each other, all right.
