Children's voices in the orchard
Between the blossom- and the fruit-time:
Golden head, crimson head,
Between the green tip and the root.
Black wing, brown wing, hover over;
Twenty years and the spring is over;
To-day grieves, to-morrow grieves,
Cover me over, light-in-leaves;
Golden head, black wing,
Cling, swing,
Spring, sing,
Swing up into the apple-tree.
--T.S. Eliot

Wow, that's amazing. That's a hard equation to wrap my head around---do I really like crappy parents better than bozo kids? I suppose I might, because they might be good people but just bad parents. Or maybe it's just some kind of non-relative, universal value. Crappy parents just automatically get more points than their bozo kids.
