You must be kidding. She says, Having the power of life and death isn't enough. Youmust wonder what other poems are in that book.Hitting me as fast as a hiccup, me resting my weight on my good foot, just staring at her, I say no.She says, Maybe you can live forever.And I say no.And she says, Maybe you can make anyone love you.No.And she says, Maybe you can turn straw into gold.And I say no and turn on my heel.Maybe you could bring about world peace, she says.
