she was haunted by the dead but friendly ghosts; as her helpers, they stayed as her hosts. but the reason why she kept them was her fear for herself, yes: she was dangerous, she might drink some wine, sing all night, mess up the yard; steal a man, rape his love then throw it away. and she became what she tried to avoid, she said: do now as i say, darling, not as i do; see the way i play kid, don't do as i do.
do not as i do, or you'll feel blue.
