and make your vanity their treasurer and
purse carrier.
Some day / shall sing at the funeral OF
woman who chews toothpick on the public

the globe in their weary round of hopeless
care.
Some day | shall be little child again, in
purity, and candor, and truth. and find my
self, perhaps, in heaven. Amber in Chicago
