She thought the “name” connection was cool enough to get hired
but when Hillary Clinton’s people rejected her application as a staffer,
H.H. Hilwy said “This is the end of the road for me!”
Then she walked away. She reached a fork in the road.
She picked up the fork and used it to eat her French fries.
She woke from the dream, clutching an empty bag of potato chips.
Henrietta H. Hilwy groped for her lover but he wasn't there.
She groped for her phone and dialed his number.
I am sorry but your lover is not available at this time.
He is busy dreaming about French fries.

For twenty years, Henrietta Harriet Hilwy was a well-respected editor
at HAMMS, the publishing house famous for coffee table art books.
Inconsistent with members of her profession, she felt guilt
when she did something unethical. It was the rarest of qualities
in the world of publishing.
When HAMMS BOOKS was bought out by a German company in 2007,
H.H. Hilwy was given her walking papers.
It was easy for Uber Alice Incorporated to respect
this distinguished editor but it was much easier to fire her.
