To Fathead
Katie Hill
Timepiece, 1985

I sometimes think that what I'd really like from you is a commitment. 
But then, I'd also like a nuclear freeze, 
plenty of food for everyone in Ethiopia, 
a loving home for each dog and cat in the world, 
a cure for cancer, 
an equal rights amendment, 
and a team of Mario Cuomo and Geraldine Ferraro in the White House. 

Oh damn it, never mind.
