The Baker
A young girl had stopped
in my shop earlier, asking for
some bread pudding and cakes.
I told her that I did not have cakes,
and she simply refused to talk to me.
I offered her rice swells for half price
instead, but she threw a fit and walked
out the door, threatening to break my
windows, and I cursed at her.
She hissed back through the glass
windows and pounded one with her fist,
but not enough to break it, still assuring
me that she would, one day, break my
windows, by the braided ribbon in her hair.
