Waiting for the revolution which she feels certain is near at hand, Cuba, a supporter of Fidel Castro, has set up camp in New York's Central Park. Having become something of a tourist attraction, she is interviewed by a reporter - who shudders apprehensively as Cuba shoots down the series of 'spies' who approach her bastion, and harangues a watching crowd through a bullhorn. Inevitably the interview becomes a confrontation between her left-wing views and his right-wing reactions, with the end result an uneasy stand-off. As he leaves the reporter remarks that she has given him no real story to file, as a story must have a beginning a middle and an end. She replies 'I may yet give you a middle - and perhaps an end as well.' Published in volume with BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME and LAST GASPS
