Double Tragedy

________________________________________________________________________________________________

A canoe capsizes and a drowning man
sends out distress signals.
 
In a nearby canoe,
the man in control
covers the ears
of his four-year-old son
because the distress signals
contain four-letter-words.
 
The capsized man dies
and twelve years later,
the former four-year-old
commits fratricide.
