amberle (Amberle S Ferrian):
All right, now we're alone No, it wasn't always like this
I know you're expecting me I used to be the one who was smart
To tell you all that I've been through I was a hard girl,
Oh, sorry, it takes so long I couldn't get caught, I was strong
And anyway, it's hurting me Oh, but then I got hurt
So don't ask, it might hurt you too Oh, how I got hurt
Maybe, I'm a fool
To turn down the love you're offering Oh, darling, take a little time with me
Oh, darling, take a little time
Chorus: Just a little time
Thanks, but love's a no, my baby
There's too much at stake One day, I don't know when
It's too soon, I know, my baby Maybe we can try again
And just too much to take Maybe all I need is time
Hold me, then say goodbye
Sometimes, I get scared Don't hate me for all the things I've
Living on my own again said
Some days, I just want to cry
Memories won't set me free Thanks, but love's a no, my baby
Those memories of how it used to be There's too much at stake
It's too soon, I know, my baby
Thanks, but love's a no, my baby And just too much to take
There's too much at stake
It's too soon, I know, my baby Oh, darling, take a little time with me
And just too much to take Oh, darling, take a little time
Just a little time....
---Kim Wilde, "Love's A No"

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
From "Spirals" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
... when my turn came, Jill's reaction was automatic. Slap him down
before it's too late for him to back away. And when she slapped me
down, I stayed slapped, more hurt than mad, but less than willing to
try again.
I hadn't stopped being in love with her. So I worked at being her
friend again. It wasn't easy. Jill was cold inside. When she talked to
people it was about business, never herself. Her dedication to the
Shack, and to all it stood for in her mind, was hardening, ossifying.
(Sounds familiar...)

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

jtidwell (Jenifer P. Tidwell):
A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
He made a home in the wilderness
He built himself a cabin and a winter store
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came riding down the track
And they never went further and they never went back
Then came the churches
Then came the schools
Then came the lawyers
Then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
Then came the mines -- then came the ore
Then there was the hard times, then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river...

swmpthng (Tim Stellmach):
The last light of day crept away like a drunkard after gin.
A hint of chanted prayer now whispers from the fresh night wind
to this shattered heart and soul held together by habit and skin
and to this half-gnawed bone of apprehension
buried in my brain
as i don't feel your touch, again.
-- Bruce Cockburn, "Don't Feel Your Touch"

tom (Tom Coppeto):
If you put garbage in a computer, nothing comes out but garbage. But
this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine, is
somehow enobled and no one dare criticize it.

tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):
Underneath your seat you will find the pieces of a disassembled Turing
machine and three miles of paper tape. In thirty minutes thirty
NP-complete problems will be let into the room. Do whatever you feel
is appropriate.

wesommer (Bill Sommerfeld):
I close my eyes
only for a moment and the moment's gone.
All my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity.
Dust in the wind.
All they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song,
just a drop of water in the endless sea.
All we do
crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Don't hang on,
nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away,
all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
"Dust In The Wind", by Kerry Livgren of Kansas.
