If it's loveliness you want, here, take some,
hissed the black fairy. ..
can do is bake things for
others' consumption: to be
told, when their success
has resulted in the shop's
being acquired -- without
them -- that they should ex-
ult to be retrained or even
resettled, to be useful.
No Party is the humane one,
for very long. If I don't
feel the chill, they haven't
come for me yet. Dare I de-
pend on them, as strangers?
How often has this worked?
Is he a stranger, who does
not denounce me?
