Pushed away: Dates (Fruit) (I)
“I'm very agreeable about all of it, right up until somebody needs me to actually hold it.”
It passes responsibility along smoothly and without conflict, agreeing readily, volunteering rarely, and arranging by a hundred small courtesies for the weight to end up with somebody else. Engulfing and over-indulgent mothering meant that somebody always stepped in before the consequence arrived, so the muscle for carrying was never needed and the charm that keeps things pleasant was developed instead. What it asks for is one responsibility held all the way to its consequence, without a rescue.
It echoes Lazy Heinz, whose every plan was a scheme for arranging that somebody else would do the work, and who was defeated at last only by a dream. The form implies a task: to get up and do the small thing before the scheme forms.
