Pushed away: Feathers (II)
“Nice things happen. They happen to other people, and that's the arrangement.”
It holds abundance off in the ordinary registers, declining trips, comforts, openings and pleasures on the settled understanding that experiences of that sort are allocated elsewhere. A mother who rejected and pressed down set the allocation early, and the child took it for a fact about distribution rather than for one woman's mood. What it asks for is to accept one good experience without assembling a reason why it doesn't count.
It echoes Zhinu the weaver, kept on her own side of the river by a decree from above and permitted one crossing a year, at the loom for the rest of it. The form implies a task: to find out who drew the river, and whether it is still there.
