THE WHALE AND FOUR BLIND MICE<br />
TRUE TO THYSELF<br />
Who knows you better than<br />
You know your own self<br />
One thing I do know<br />
You must respect yourself<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are things that we do in the dark<br />
That wil definitely come to the light<br />
We all do things that are not pleasing<br />
In God’s sight<br />
Going to pay respects to the Potentate.<br />
How many vowels can one fit in a name?<br />
Running five marathons in five days.<br />
You can always Pay-It-and-Take-it.<br />
But mice prefer Dim-sum.<br />
<strong>The</strong> whale paid homage to a pink velour jet.<br />
Who won the race?<br />
Sir. W. W. Winston<br />
We do a lot of pretending<br />
Which is not very smart<br />
We’re able to fool humans<br />
But God knows our heart<br />
We need to stop blaming others<br />
Foer our shortcomings as we often do<br />
It’s impossible to be honest to others<br />
If to thyself, we are not true.<br />

ABSTRACTION<br />
I search for a moment<br />
of knowing<br />
of control, at cause and not effect.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y do happen,<br />
but with no regularity --<br />
Even looking back, my life<br />
feels like an abstraction,<br />
that happened to someone else,<br />
an illusion.<br />
Art Cornell<br />

caring , thoughtful and observant. We encourage submissions,<br />
