THE UNKNOWN PLANT CELL
Daily, Nightly, No
Words speechless,
Standing, sitting,
Perfect silence
Surrounded sequence,
Tightly fitting,
Out in force
No planned exit
Not a shadow
Solemn Sanctuary
Only fed by
Life-time master
We are many
But so lonely
Ever moving
Never far
J. H. Oavies (5)
THE PLAYGROUND MASTER
LITERATURE
Willing comrades,
You and I,
From the start,
It never changes
You arise, and
I will greet thee
Ever present.
Inside out,
I will serve, Or
Die myself
Life in your
Hands
United together
To move great,
Never lost
Always together.
Jake was obsessed. He couldn't help it, they were
like trees being burnt; trees can't stop the fire,
(But you can) screamed the voice of self criticism.
Jake laughed back at this feeling
(at you rself)
and then made his viJay to his beloved playground
(office)
and started to wait. to watch the children come.
Silence.
Then slam, out they came shouting, slam! out they
came screaming. The daily routine of burning the trees then
started again.
Suddenly, the sly, stupid sound of the siren erupted, and
and silence re-ruled the playground. Silence the loneliest
of sounds.
(Hal Hal You're still hungry, Jake, the fire still burns, where
will the water come from now? Where are the trees?)
"Shut Up!"
(Ha! Hal Face it Jake, you're obsessed, you're obsessed,)
"No!"
(Silence, stir, slam! shouting, slam! screaming, siren, stir,
silence, stir, slam! screaming, slam! screaming, slam! screaming,
silence, siren, stir, silence, silence, silence)
"!"
(You're obsessed, you are the child molester)
