PLEA describe my being I or nothingnessj compass my whole land my halij draw a tangent to my vortex frule my lined lifej Chart my symmetry fmy even oddnessl plot my life fwith your instrumentl take me from the test tube fbrealc the beakerj allow me the innnity of another dimension CATHY WEISS '70 RUNNING A walked challenge is accepted. Slowness slides into speed of up and over cracked sidewalks bouncing the joy of a sun running in cadences drugged with green spiraling through branched leaves bursting this one last store of delirium. Exhaustion dropping on coolness. CATHY WEISS '70 I7I

THE LOST AND FOUND Absolute zero QKelvin, my love, Kelvinj-heads or tails on this one was impossible. Have you ever walked a long, long way alone? Walked so far that you don,t even think about your arrival be- cause you are so alone, so within, so yourself? lt's being lost to everyone, to your SELF, lost in thought. Have you ever wondered about your mind? About what it does when you are consciously living. It becomes clut- tered wilh the small, petty musings of unhappy people. Bigotry, a lot of that, but mostly just lack of caring about each other. Have you ever wondered about your mind? About what it does when you let it roll on? A11 the filminess of hate and hurt is blown away. And you find that the every- day world becomes a world of Hmoons and Junes and ferris wheels. Mostly this happens on a long, long walk. Alone. At night, on the beach, or during the day, in the hills, minds are thrown open to unknown directions and dimensions. Songs are written in moments like this: moments of total freedom, to involvement, total universality. There's a Word, ectoplasmic, spirit materializationg that's how to describe a long, long walk alone. So I walk. Lost to the world, found within. MARY KAY SPEAKMAN '72 I73
