ambar (Jean Marie Diaz):
after happiness comes sorrow
beware : do not read this poem
tonite's thriller was
about an ol woman ,so vain she
surrounded herself w/
many mirrors
it got so bad that finally she
locked herself indoors & her
whole life became the
mirrors
one day the villagers broke
into her house , but she was too
swift for them . she disappeared
into a mirror
each tenant who bought the house
after that , lost a loved one to
the ol woman in the mirror :
first a little girl
then a young woman
then the young woman/s husband
the hunger of this poem is legendary
it has taken many victims
back off from this poem
it has drawn in yr feet
back off from this poem
it has drawn in yr legs
back off from this poem
it is a greedy mirror
you are in this poem . from
the waist down
nobody can hear you cant they ?
this poem has had you up to here
belch
this poem aint got no manners
you cant call out frm this poem
relax now & go w/ this poem
move & roll on to this poem
do not resist this poem
this poem has yr eyes
this poem has his head
this poem has his arms
this poem has his fingers
this poem has his fingertips
this poem is the reader & the
reader this poem
statistic : the us bureau of missing persons reports
that in 1968 over 100,000 people disappeared
leaving no trace only
a space in the lives of their friends

From webster:
Word: finish
def 2a: to bring to completion or issue : PERFECT
It is now clear to me I will not finish titan by Thursday at 11 AM,
which is when I will be flying off to SC. I will have something
playable, missing only a few of the more obscure features of the game.
Feel free to run it and report strange behavior to wchuang@athena,
since he's going to have to deal with it until I get an account at
Rice.

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
"Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully.
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever."
"And he has Brain."
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."
There was a long silence.
"I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why he never
understands anything."

srz (Stanley R Zanarotti):
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of a broken heartache
Who has loved that's now departed
I know I've got to find some peace of mind, baby.
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumbling down
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of a broken heartache...
