Squeezable, and not
Dangerous Air
Twin fads swept the plant!–-hugs and dieting.
The “trees” were safe from the former. (Why risk
puncture wounds?) But, of course, spoke ceaselessly
of the latter in the cult language of anorexics.
Personnel could be blamed for the “Give someone
a hug!” nonsense, a product of their touchy-feely
seminars.
The object of most affectionate therapy was Mandy,
from Shipping. Pleasingly plump, mostly to accountants
who hung around the platform on cigarette or vape breaks,
awaiting their moment.
Her nerves went, and she pretty much stopped eating.
As a result, eventually more gaunt than the most sexless
tree there.
Well, anyway, both fads ran their course, the air becoming
dangerous with the rumor of a new one!
