She hung up her dancing shoes but found that she ' d been led astray. ANATOMY OF THE MALE MIND You worship yourself more than God Himself And believe you ' re His gift to women. But underneath your flawless wrapper Lies the perfect moron. Ma Ida Nowotny She had led the race while everyone was tiring, but as she looked behind she felt she might have taken the wrong way. Now she can ' t seem to find a smile; it ' s hard to cry. The things she used to love block up the way of her escape - she ' s losing it. Lee Worden ADVANCEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY Wild Horses Gallop Across The Last Wide Open Space. They ' re Allowed. Teresa Burgess SPECIAL WORDS HEY1 Is there anybody out there? Sometimes you think there ' s not. Too often there isn ' t time to talk. You need someone who ' s going to be there, To hold you up, And together. You need to fay special words, But they don ' t come out until It ' s too late. They ' re dying and there ' s nothing you can do, But regret the things you never said or did. Teresa Burgess 151

DESTINATION UNKNOWN Left Is a note She hopes Is enough, Closets Whisper, ' It ' s time. She emerges, almost frightened by the emptiness; Trees sigh In the cool breeze, The search begins Independence: The need to be free. She wi 1 1 not discover Beauty In all But... She wi 1 1 experience; The journey, t Destination, endless unknown. Leah Jacobson ENERGETIC DISASSEMBLY In the morning mist the paling moon runs from the newly rising sun. The sun peers over the mountain, feels it ' s safe and arises. The world awakens only to be destroyed seconds later by man ' s own creation. Vlcki Kitto Love, Shines Its own sun rains its own rain laughs its own fun cries its own pain sheds its own tears runs its own race screams its own fears keeps I ts own pace Love is what you make of it. Kathy Kool THE IMMORTAL RACE The most decrepit race exists today An antique among prehistoric surroundings, Thrives in its ancient existence. Descendants remain as frozen fossils, Atavistic fragments of an ageless world. Aegis forces have unsuccessfully strived To bring Its downfall. Primordial as the human animal has become, He Is the wizened predator Who Is prey only to his own kind. Ma Ida Nowotny 152
