put a gun to my head,
or set out a million dollars
in cash
in front of me,
or promised
to save the world
from hunger
and bring peace
to every land.
i still wouldn't
say i do again.
i hope you understand.

Ingrid or maybe Betty or Mable --or all those other old-fashioned names. By the way, I hear now "Diane" is also counted among them --names that only old people have. Believe it or not --I am literally the only person named Diane in my entire school of 2500 --not counting the faculty. Look at what a simple push of a button on the computer can tell you. Only people over 60 are named Diane. Ingrids, I think, are all dead by now.
