No Guarantees

A reminder
to those who have forgotten it,
or never learned it in the first place:
the freedom to say or do something
does not include with it
exemption from comment about it.

SHE: A Non-Fable for the 21st Century

Setting:  any social-media website

NARRATOR:              SHE

                                 had graduated college about a year ago

                                 And SHE

                                 announced she was moving into her first apartment

                                 And SHE

                                 announced she was accepting contributions

                                 from any who wished to help support her

                                 And SHE

                                 posted the link for those who wished

                                 to donate to such a worthy cause

                                       THE END
