The Old Patriots The old Patriots cover their words with the shroud of their Nation, Entombing falacious arguments in the tri-colored symbol of what they once knew, Afraid to realize that colors fade and cloth wears with age, And that which they fear is their modern-day counterparts, Who stands for phrases that seem to contradict what they are. The old Patriots spew forth maxims they would like to be relevant, But are only the decadence of disappearing dreams. Shrieking condemnations of that which they do not understand. Comprehension is above those in self-imposed senilityg Paranoic theories that shatter the foundations of logicg Sophisticated sophists that refuse to be enlightened to the spectrum of their world, Seeing only red. I don't know about you, But I want to bejust like them With my flag on my antenna, and Spiro telling time on my hand. Jonathan M. Silver Awakening It's so much easier Without the ins and outs and calculations It was worth waiting And dying and god-I-can't-stand-it For now: the girl in the Renior painting Spotted with yellows and pinks Bowl of fruit in her arms Standing under the impressionist's sky 5 Her eyes are wandering. She's looking for a way out ofthe canvas, She's looking for pop-art She's looking for a future in day-glo colors Suzan Jaffe af- Q3-. -62' -f-4'5 4622352 Q 4 - Q . 5 +-- Y-1-V

I had a dream three farmers walking across the countryside together, alone without any companions, trying desperately to avoid the plunge which was directly hidden in the back of their minds. Elliot Freeman Man's Place What pain has a rose brought to the world? Or a twinkling star, fondled by the arms of infinity? What misery has a pebble, Crushed to sand along the foamy shoreline of an ocean, Ever inflicted upon the ea rth? But where does man make his entrance? Above the thorned rose garden? Above the immense, glittering heaven? Above the very rocks enc Is manls place defined in rusted in the earth's lining? the universe? Or does man exist in man's universe, for surely there is no connection. Art Charsinsky G IQ A -4 ' k',i ' , A ' vE:If:Z2::lir: fQz'y'f'fvf-1' fsf gr Q Y, f . ' 6?
