i read in one of john updike´s
short stories that rheumatoid arthiritis
has a psychosomatic element..
lily smiles..like a rose..
and mourns bitterly her loss-
poe,investigates..
all that glitters is not gold cat..
yes,one day my mother who suffered
for i don´t know 30 or 40 years
with a dickey shoulder ceased
to feel pain
her brain
said that´s quite suffice..
her smile said it all..
but what is the mind..?

the story is called here come the maples..in five or six short pages he tells a couples life story..recalling some real erudite observation and the flavour of the fifties..a civilized divorce..the law was rather strange..but it ends with their first kiss..
