The Drawbridge and the Moat


A long-haired hippie girl sits on a patch of summer grass, in uniform -- sandals, tattered jeans, gold bangles and multicolored tunic.

She shakes her mane out of anxiety triggered by the gaze of a boy whom she desires.  She does not make eye contact with him.  About an hour later, she shakes her mane out of anxiety triggered by the gaze of a boy whom she finds repulsive.  She does not make eye contact with him.

Introspection equal to the moment is not to be found in the heart of either boy.
