drops recovered, elbow held,
kisses requested
I was overwhelmed
suspicious of such gallantry
from one who
laughed loudly at racist jokes
and kicked begging bowls

  3. Wise to pay attention to that other aspect of his behaviour! How much compunction might he have, later, at kicking you?

  4. So important how a person treats others who are less fortunate, or from whom he can get nothing in return. A mark of character.

  5. It's important to pay attention to those who have dual personalities!
