ckclark (Calvin Clark):
Why was I so hot to get this little teenie-bopper? I'd seen the
swingers before; they peppered the bars off Times Square every Saturday
night, in from Jersey where the age limit was higher. But why this one?
What song had she been silently singing that got my groin all tingly?
What emptiness was there in me, what wrong bell bonging, what snail
crawling through my inward side, what height I hadn't I reached, what
door slammed when I was a child, what act I'd begun and never completed,
what vision I'd had that had been shattered for me . . . what meal had
turned rancid in my belly, what bill had never been paid, what game had
I chanced everything and been taken like a patsy . . . what wind had
chilled me, what sun had scorched me . . . all uselessly, all
senselessly . . . that had brought me through four years of college to
the day of graduation when I'd run shrieking into the fields of reality
and never gone back for the passport into the big time? What was it,
that made me follow through the night that blue Mustang with the waving
banner of yellow hair? What was it, and would it kill me?
From ``Turnpike,'' by Harlan Ellison

kagraves (Kenneth A Graves):
"Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
Crack nature's moulds, all germens spill at once,
That make ingrateful man!"
Boston needs more thunderstorms :-)

therese (Therese):
We were friends who rode the waves
The time we spent in our younger days
Was all in fun,.. oh the good times that we had.
We were young and it was fine
To feel your spirit as it climbed
There're no regrets
Only good times
We were friends in younger days
Although we went our separate ways
You were my friend, you never turned away
Who can say what life will do
Life is kind to just a few
There're no regrets
Only good times
In time we will grow, we will change
As free as the wind and the waves
Live your life the way you choose
Find the ones who'll laugh with you
Like the sea
will find its way to shore
As the sun sinks from the sky,
Live your life and you will find
There're no regrets
Only good times ....
- Keola and Kapono Beamer

tiuzzol (Terri Iuzzolino):
So let the sun shine in,
Face it with a grin.
Smilers never lose,
And frowners never win.
So let the sun shine in.
Face it with a grin.
Why don't you open up your heart,
And let the sun shine in?
