He/she has refused to sign for your autobiography,
and will continue to chip away
at your ice sculpture until opening day,
when the winners will be announced,
and he/she will disclose - to the world, I might add -
your innermost workings.
Brush-hogging aside, the light has changed,
so get going. You don't have all day anymore.
You have bummed your quota.
These small facts are not canonical
but, once vetted, should be enough
to secure a small stipend to tide you over.
