avi the security of ivell-hioiDV smiles, The heart ever-brokev, ever-vieyided; The ever-present balmice befween the all-iinportivit noiv and the once- important yesterday. I am the question that has no answer, A need never filled; The ache to return to some quiet place in meinory. . . Seeking fiilfilhnent in an empty room of a crowded world. I ail! the stable one, changeless, Alone with the beating of my heart. All of these . . . and none. The composite of many faces latighing and sad. The ilhision that remains, The reality . . . past, present, future. We will return. The footprints of our memories once again ' ill mar ne ' -planted grass And climb the steps of ancient Munger. Our eyes will see The evening fog, the leafless trees of % -inter. And all our -esterdays.

Long, lonely nights of sttniy. . . The Li ' histle of the 11:55 when your date must be hi by 12:00. The precious sameness of life frojn assignment to assignme?it That allows you to lose yoiirself When yon do not wish to be fonnd The walk up the hill to four walls that see dreams shattered and realized. . . The moods of emptiness that coine and go, ■. . - When there is one cigarette and many tears left. . . The half -uttered prayer that next week, next quarter will be better. . . The mood after tests-an urge to step off this crazy sphere for just one day.
