(hostile takeover)

"It's obvious," said Vera, fluffing a pillow back and forth until it resembled the face of our mutual disgust, "there's a lot of poems. Everybody writing poems but nobody reading poems and what's more nobody buying poems. They buy hoses and birthday candles and bread all the time but rarely do they buy poems." Outside the rain was fleeting in a lustful way but without caressing. In the other room someone was stirring a bowl of fruity pebbles. Gnash-gnash-slurp.
