“Your Sister’s Sister”: Some Sort of Miracle

… Lynn Shelton’s “Your Sister’s Sister” is some sort of miracle …
Kim Yingling, the apple of mother's eye when 5 years old
Mother dressed Kim in Sunday best, did not do as told
Kim went out in back yard, got her hands covered with mud
To avoid a scolding, she must clean her hands if she could
She saw her neighbors sun tea brewing in the sun
Seeing no other water, it was time for the cleaning to begin
Splashed her hands in the tea to clean her dirty skin
From a window, the neighbors seen their tea disturbed
Being good friends, the neighbors never said a word
The next morning a special moment came for Kim to see
For the neighbors invited Kim and her mother over for tea
… oodles of absurdist humor applied with deadpan delivery …
… I expected passion and intensity, but they are curiously absent …
It is hard for me to understand why today there are so few people in the middle about politics.
