it will never be permitted again
chosen because they were so vulnerable
we had promised them fair treatment
for their labour and good behaviour
rebuilding the country for us

the computer is too much of a weapon

has she ever done any wrong
asked the chinese
never
nowhere
but the Minister
and the Civil Servants
ordered it

why asked the chinese
the lab bossess
gives her body to them

because the Prince
and the Princess
were on the programme
that was merely
a side line

I am keeping all this
we all take her stuff home
for our children and families
we write her things
and send them off
to be published

it is called a trial
testing our elbow
what is possible
what is not possible

We will do as you ask
said the chinese
teaching over there a way out
and copy her things
but we have noted it all...
