hetrick (Brian Hetrick):
Echoes
Ripples reflect around the shallow pool,
to cross and mingle: here, a small rough stone
was tossed, a second past. The puddle's lip
yields back the waves the pebble made, but not
unchanged. Circles deform to ragged shapes,
their perfect arcs shattered against the mud.
The squatting, watching boy straightens, and steps
over the pool. He walks homeward, to massed
despair at mud and wasted time, and words
that label him as stupid, failure, fool.
The words are pain. He hangs his head, endures
his shame, and learns. With years, he grows aloof
from boyish exploration, and seeks truth
with subtle logic, burying his hurt.

lnp (Lisa N Paradis):
The Registrar's Office, being its usual inept self, has messed up my
address. They officially have my address from last summer listed as
my fall address. I never told them what my summer address was, but
they got the information anyway. I turned in my change of address
card on Registration day, but, alas, they never bothered to look at
it. I've turned in another change of address card... Until the
Registrar's Office gets its act together, I'll have to live with the
incorrect finger @mit information. Below is my correct address...

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Three Rings for Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the
Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men
doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One
Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In
the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
- Tolkien

thomas (Thomas Aguierre Smith):
"Nothing in the World can take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is
more common than unsuccssful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost
a proverb. Education will not; the world is
full of educated derelicts. Persistence and
determination alone are omnipotent. The
slogan 'Press on' has solved and always will
solve the problems of the human race"
- Calvin Coolidge
