3-12-93 - Listed off for a moment there....

So what's to know?  A week of nothing, what does it mean?  Some would say bad excuse for a student and others would claim it was some anti-beatnik behavior, both of which can be lumped under the general title of bad omens for the future.  They might be omens.  It might have just been habit.  2 years ago I only went home;  3, I went to Canada;  4, never mind; 1, I stayed right there.  Numbers are wrong.

It might be good to remember some sometime.  It avoids the confusion for the other, the audience.  They may wonder over your words entirely, or simply walk away remembering only what you do, which is little.

    Poem in the Sunlight
     Tracing the shadow of my pen,
     I came upon a thought quite clear,
     Which told me of when I return again,
     To a place swimming in my own fear.
     This vision, it seemed, was of me,
     For there was no inflicting party about,
     And after it passed and let me be,
     I had little reason nor hope to doubt,
     That when the sun today at last set,
     And the shadows have grown long enough to engulf all,
     There will be few places as of yet,
     That don't hint of the scene into which I'll fall.

So says the young.  As the old approaches, he might be awake enough to write.
