debbo (Deborah A Birnby):
today i am
a small blue thing
like a mrble
or an eye
with my knees against my mouth
i am perfectly round
i am watching you
i am cold against your skin
you are perfectly reflected
i am lost inside your pocket
i am lost against your fingers
i am falling down the stairs
i am skipping on the sidewalk
i am thrown against the sky
i am raining down in peices
i am scattering like light
scattering like light
scattering like light
today i am
a small blue thing
made of china
made of glass
i am cool and smooth and curious
i never blink
i am turning in your hand
turning in your hand
small blue thing

hetrick (Brian Hetrick):
With Children
My children took me to the park to play
in Autumn's crackling gold and scarlet world.
Our white-toothed laughter followed every leap
and slide and swing, as we recalled the lore
of maple's splayed hand leaves down blouse and shirt,
and gruff goats crossing rough, suspended logs.
Then shadows touched us with their chilling stretch
across the leaves, and whispered home was goal.
We walked home through a stand of trees, some tall
and thick, some tall and thin, a few just stumps.
One stump was cleft, the center soft, the last
of what was once a tree; and in the split
a seedling grew, with one red, tiny leaf.
We walked; I wondered what the stump might feel.

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
Everything you always wanted to know about Arab attitudes toward
Israel, but were afraid to ask....
Part 34:
``The removal of the Israeli occupation from our occupied land,
Palestine, is the first and basic condition for just peace.... The
Islamic nation and just believers in any religion or creed will not
accept the situation of the land of the prophet's flight to heaven and
the cradle of prophets and divine messages being captive of Zionist
occupation.''
- King Hussein of Jordan, Speech at the Islamic Conference, //Amman
- Domestic Service//, July 11, 1980

paul (Paul Boutin):
Andy was a Catholic, the ethic ran through his bones
He'd get to the Factory early
If you'd ask him he'd tell you straight out
It's just work, the most important thing is work
No matter what I did it never seemed enough
He said I was lazy, I said I was young
He said, "How many songs did you write?"
I'd written zero, I lied and said "Ten."
"You won't be young forever
You should have written fifteen"
It's work, the most important thing is work
It's work, the most important thing is work
Andy said a lot of things, I stored them all away in my head
Sometimes when I can't decide what to do
I think what would Andy have said
He'd probably say you think too much
That's cause there's work that you don't want to do
It's work, the most important thing is work
Work, the most important thing is work
"My log does not judge."

The 12 most honorable ways for an MIT student to die:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

o /
(())(())(( o ))(())(())((

))(()(()()()()))(())())()
11. To die from lack of sleep due to nocturnal housemates and
9AM thermo lectures. (Blechhh!)

(Remember kids: nothing important *ever* comes through

9. To die from caffiene overdose.
8. To be hit by some nut showing off on the Senior House
tire-swing, or else from a concussion from attempting
to tire-swing yourself.
7. To be asphyxiated while being squished in the corridors
of the textbook section of the Tech Coop on Reg Day.
6. To be trampled to death by slam-dancers at a Senior
House courtyard party, *especially* if Jeff Parker
picked the band.
5. To die from excessive trendiness during a visit to Baker
House, MacGregor house, or McCormick Hall.
4. To die from EMF radiation for spending 28
consecutive hours in a Project Athena computer cluster.
3. To be smooshed by the giant hairball (Ooops! I mean
"modern art"!) in the atrium of the Stratton Student
Center.
2. To fall off the Great Dome while attaching the mouse ears.
1. To die from food poisoning in an MIT dining hall. (Out
with ARA!)
