An idea for a narrative: The women (or men and women) in a highrise martyr a witch. Their proof:
In the laundry room, no one has ever seen her search for a singleton sock--hers always come out in pairs. Her permanent press items come out actually fresh and ironed looking. Her fitted sheets are always folded into perfect, flat, squares.

A Song of Plenty
A Song of Plenty
Oh, we’re the cops and
firemen, and the teachers, too.
You think we’re there to help
you, but we want to stick it to you.
Our salaries run up deficits,
although it’s kept hush hush
All we cost the country would
make old Wall Street blush.
The bankers take home little,
just enough to fill their pools
And their club dues, fill
their Prius, and buy their wives some jewels.
A European vacation is the
least that is their due
Because they’re job creators,
not like me and you.
They fix all of the interest
rates, and trade on inside dope
It keeps the country going, a
gives us lots of hope
You should not ever question
that, unless you are a mope
They bust their hump
collectively, it surely is a cope.
And if they fill their
coffers with pension funds galore
It’s just because they need
it, cause life might be a bore
If they did not have the
moolah to buy and sell and trade
And without it they would
fade.
They slog away to keep us
safe, to teach our children, too
Oh wait, that’s us--I mean it’s
me and you
Who guard their homes, put
out the fires ,and teach their kids each day
And they want us to keep
quiet, or they’ll take our jobs away.

George Sand
Aurore Dupin, er, George Sand
Would opt for the wild not the bland
She had no use for the priests
And her books never ceased
And she never stopped rockin' Chopin.
