Don’t you care for my love? she said
bitterly.
I handed
her the mirror, and said:
Please address these questions to the proper
person!
Please make
all requests to headquarters!
In all matters of emotional
importance
please
approach the supreme authority direct!
So I handed her the
mirror.
And she would have broken it over my head,
but she caught sight of her own
reflection
and that
held her spell-bound for two seconds
while I fled.
