Except the thing there on the dictionary.
They found it on me with the point of it
Touching my throat. I had not moved since then;
And it was not for some uncertain hours
After they came that either would say how long
That might have been. It should have been much longer.
All you may add will be your own invention,
For I have told you all there is to tell.
Tomorrow I shall have another birthday,
And with it there may come another message—
Although I cannot see the need of it.
You may as well take that thing home with you,
And so be sure that I'm not using it.
They may arrest you, but good night!—and thank you."
He smiled, but I would rather he had not.
