davelett (Richard Sun):
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask for too much;
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing now it's all I got.

I took a drive today
time to emancipate...
I guess it was the beatings
made me wise..
but I'm not about to give thanks
or apologize.
I couldn't breathe
holding me down
hand on my face
fist to the ground
emnity gagged
united by fear
supposed to endure
what I could not forgive
I seemed to look awqy
wounds in the mirror waved...
it wasn't my surface
most defiled...
head at your feet
fool to your crown
fist on my plate
swallowed it down
enmity gagged
united by fear
tried to endure
what I could not forgive
saw things... saw things...
saw things saw things...
clearer... clearer..
once you... were in my
rearview mirror
I gather speed from you
fucking with me...
once and for all I'm far away...
hardly believe...
Finally the shades are raised

random quotes:
The city, 1:00am. People in their rooms, asleep, lonely, depressed.
One of them gets the urge to pet a small, furry animal. That's where
I come in. My name's Friday. I carry a badger.
- beats me
A liberal mind is a mind that is able to imagine itself believing anything.
- Max Eastman (I've never heard of him either)
We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and
to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and
his children smart.
- H.L. Mencken
Whatever you do, stamp out abuses, and love those who love you.
- Voltaire
I am not the only person who uses his computer mainly for
the purpose of diddling with his computer. There are millions of
others. I know this, because I encounter them on the Internet,
which is a giant international network of intelligent, informed
computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, "people without lives."
- Dave Barry
On the road, ZIPPY is a pinhead without a purpose, but never without a POINT.

[Background: Waterloo University has been banning newsgroups again.
You can read some of the reports in the directory /mit/safe/canada/waterloo]
Newsgroups: alt.censorship
From: ak200114@sol.yorku.ca
Subject: Canadian Underwear
Message-ID: <1994Feb13.195226.1@sol.yorku.ca>
Organization: York University
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 1994 00:52:26 GMT
For those of you who were concerned,
censorship is alive and well
and living in Canada.
Read uw.general,
the Usenet voice of Waterloo University,
and you will see that the discussion is NOT
whether the university community has the right
to read whatever it wants.
The discussion is
what newsgroups are illegal under the law.
In a Woody Allen movie,
a Latin American dictator decrees
that all citizens must wear their underwear
outside their clothes.
If this were to happen in Canada
Canadians would be discussing
what colour underwear is permitted by law.

Marge Piercy
The courage to let go of the door, the handle.
The courage to shed the familiar walls whose very
stains and leaks are comfortable as the little moles
of the upper arm; stains that recall a feast,
a child's naughtiness, a loud blattering storm
that slapped the roof hard, pouring through.
The courage to abandon the graves dug into the hill,
the small bones of children and the brittle bones
of the old whose marrow hunger had stolen;
the courage to desert the tree planted and only
begun to bear; the riverside where promises were
shaped; the street where their empty pots were broken.
The courage to leave the place whose language you learned
as early as your own, whose customs however dan-
gerous or demeaning, bind you like a halter
you have learned to pull inside, to move your load;
the land fertile with the blood spilt on it;
the roads annotated and mapped for survival.
The courage to walk out of the pain that is known
into the pain that cannot be imagined,
mapless, walking into the wilderness, going
barefoot with a canteen into the desert;
stuffed in the stinking hold of a rotting ship
sailing off the map into dragon's mouths.
Cathay, India, Siberia, goldeneh medinah,
leaving bodies by the way like abandoned treasure.
So they walked out of Egypt. So they bribed their way
out of Russia under loads of straw; so they steamed
out of the bloody smoking charnel house of Europe
on overloaded freighters forbidden all ports --
out of pain into death or freedom or a different
painful dignity, into squalor and politics.
We Jews are born wanderers, with shoes
under our pillows and a memory of blood that is ours
raining down. We honor only those Jews who changed
tonight, those who chose the desert over bondage
who walked into the strange and became strangers
and gave birth to children who could look down
on them, standing on their shoulders, for having
been slaves. We honor those who let go of every-
thing but freedom, who ran, who revolted, who fought,
who became other by saving themselves.
