debbo (Deborah A Birnby):
Wond'ring aloud
how we feel today
Last night sipped the sunset
my hands in her hair
we are our own saviors
as we start both our hearts beating life
into each other.
Wond'ring aloud --
will the years treat us well.
As she floats in the kitchen
I'm tasting the smell
of toast as the butter runs
Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed
and I shake my head.
And it's only the giving
that makes you what you are.

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
"I Know Him So Well"
from _Chess_
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well.
Wasn't it good? (Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine (Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness
He can't be mine?
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me - more security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
No-one in your life is with you constantly
No-one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back I could have played it differently
(Looking back I could have played things some other way)
Learned about the man before I fell
(I was just a little careless maybe)
But I was ever so much younger then (now at least I know him well)
Now at least I know I know him well
Wasn't it good (Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
Everything you always wanted to know about Arab attitudes toward
Israel, but were afraid to ask....
(Soon to come -- quotes from this year. But I'm building up to it.)
Part 19:
``The Arabs will not only demand the West Bank and the Gaza Strip,
but all of the land conquered since 1948.... The slogan that the
rights of the Palestinians be restored and Palestine liberated can
have but one meaning -- the elimination of Israel.''
- //Radio Damascus//, Dec. 22, 1976

lwvanels (Lucien W. Van Elsen):
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.
Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were were here.
