Paradox of Venice

many long walks
slow but sharp turns

the big man
entered the church with his head down

the little fellow on the shoulder
stopped giggling

there were blood stains
and wild whispers

the eyes looked up
it was hard to say

who looked bigger - the roof or the chair?

altitude
was incomprehensible
emotion was
well, dried

folded papers and torn wallet
that's all was left

where did he come from
where was he to go

whispers got louder

eyes closed

the last i saw
the kid was giggling

i am not there
yet, i am there

it is a paradox
- and, it is not.

O negative


How strange is the fact that inspite of being termed negative, O -ve humans can donate to anybody but can receive only from an other O -ve?

Is giving to everybody not positive enough to account for the negativity of not taking from anybody?

Who has the authority to change the names of blood groups?
