The tube came out of the young man's throat, the chair pushed by his girlfriend. Paralysis from the neck down. The air pump whirred under the chair. I tried not to stare as I walked past.
She was sweet.
'Hello' she said as I tried to pass. 'Look what we've got.'
She stopped pushing and opened the box resting on the top of the wheelchair.
'Come and look.'
It was a little puppy,
I had mixed feelings, shame of course, and awe.
