Now, wait a minute, Dan, your order-of-events is right, but your numbers
are a bit off.
I had a place to live a whole four days before I LEFT California, and
I've had accounts on MIT computers continuously since Summer '85. Add
to that the fact that MIT's main news server (which owes its existence
to moi) has had a feed of ba.all (for homesick students :-) almost since
its birth, and miracles become easy. :-)
It's easy to provide miracles when you're the woman behind the curtain...

sorokin (Jessie Stickgold-Sarah):
Cho-Cho
by Marge Piercy
At the Animal Disposal League
you reached through the bars
avid to live. Discarded offspring
of Persian splendour and tuxedo
alley cat, your hunger saved
you, fuzzy and fist-sized.
Now you are sunny, opaque,
utterly beyond words, alien
as the dreams of a pine tree.
Sometimes when I look at you
you purr as if stroked.
Outside you turn your head
pretending not to see me
off on business, a rabbit
in the marshgrass, rendevous
in the briars. In the house
you're a sponge for love,
a recirculating fountain.
Angry, you sulk way under
a bed till dragged out whining,
you permit yourself to be
captured and saved. You blink
then your goldengreen eyes
purr and collapse on your back
with paws up and your snowy
white belly exposed all curls
to the plume of your tail.
Ravish me, you say, with kisses
and tunafish because I know
how to accept pleasure. I am
your happy longhaired
id, taking the moment as I
do your finger in my mouth
without breaking its skin,
or eviscerating it instantly
like a mouse.
