America has a raw meat heart American xjldlultiples America has multiple hearts, A heart for every occasion. She carries each for a moment, many in a lifetime And keeps them in a drawer Next to her soul cupboard. America has a strong ox heart To carry in a knapsackg She had it with her yesterday When she crossed the plains, In white wind On brown earth. She carries it at plowing time, When the dirt smells deep. She carries it on a stake in the mob Where it smoulders like a torch, And waves it at lynchings Instead of a Hag.

She wears it on her sleeve to the movies, Reads magazines for ladies, And listens to England's Coronation With tears in her eyes. America has multiple hearts, A heart for every occasion. She carries each for a moment, many in a lifetime, That pumps red hate into her body, And keeps them in a drawer Pulses it in streams through her veins. Next to her soul cupboard.

His stubby, It blond head was bent in dejection, and if one looked closely, two extremely V A -Ularge tears could be seen escaping over an insignificant, freckled nose. All his manlyiefforts to keep from crying were of no avail. One grimy hand lay lightly on the head of a small brown and white dog, who twitched spasmodically in his sleep and moved his legs in a short, jerky motion. Perhaps he was dreaming of the time when the next door neighbor's cat chased him because he got too near her kittens. The hoyls immense brown eyes stared moodily into space and often a deep sigh of unhappiness would escape the pursed lips. He was the picture of youthful disillusion- ment. Bitter thoughts ran through his head, he would never be able to trust anyone again. Why had she done this to him? How could she? She had apologized but he knew she

It just wasn't fair, but he would show her. I-le'd make her regret it, and then if she tried to make up, he would calmly look the other way and change the subject. Then she would he sorry that she had made him suffer. With the thought of revenge in his mind the freckled face broke into a quick grin of anticipation, but almost immediately lapsed hack into a worried frown. Finally he spoke his thoughts aloud in a voice which bespoke his disappointment: Aw, Mom, why di'ja have to throw my spider collection away? LORABELLE WRAITH, T39 The CDeserL, The sun is rising, Rising over rolling hills of lnfeless sand 1 Rising over 'vast expansions of grey desertj Rising over barren desolation. This blazing hall appearing in the Cast- Why comes it here? ff ere nothing grows, nor breathes, nor lives: ff ere, in this loneliness, lies nothing. At noon should creature chance to see this place, The sands would seem molten undef' The heat, useless heat, good onhf for creating 'Uisions of cool lakes on the rim of the horizon. At evening, the glories of the sunset Waste their beauty on this wilderness, Which seems to extend even to the cloudless heavens. At night the heat gives way to sweeping cwinds, Whose frozen jingers scoop up the sand Only to plant it elsewhere, Molding, and remolding this tractless waste. Then, at dawn, all is still. The cold cvanishesg the sands lie quiet, And, even as now, the sun rises. KINTA KINSLOW, ,39
