xvi.

If there are people

who drink coffee

in this kind of place,

does that mean that there are

people like me?

And they are nearby…

Aren’t they afraid that the Stabilizers

will be at their door

any minute now,

and that the State will banish them

from society

to a place unbeknownst?

But if they are here,

and they are in a safe place away

from the prying eyes of the State,

then they can give shelter

to people like them,

…and that includes me.

I must find them.
