June 1989 - page 4

1.
wednesday arrived

quite unexpectedly

surprising even

the most patient

of individuals who

only liked Mondays.

2.

there was a deliberate change

in attitude as they adjusted

their mentality for the weekend.

3.

the format changes with each

change in direction that is

prompted by a change in seats.

4.

how familiar do we become

\with each other before we can

learn how much to take?

5.

a fable came my way about a man who

called for help when not needed and

reminded me of how we have reached

out for each other when not needed,

two insects feeding off of one another

but never really needing each other.

6.

the money was counted by a button

on which was a picture of the purchaser

and if the button were to be damaged

no money by the clerk could be determined.

7.

she heard his voice and

did not turn back to look,

she felt his breath and

tried to act natural,

she knew he had left and

was flirting with another.

8.

it was uncomfortable being

here but not impossible,

it was encouraging not

to have many around and

it was foolish to be this

way but it was comfortable.

9.

there were many of us who were

confused by the morning baricades

overcoming them for more coffee.

10.

she was with me

wanting to be alone

wanting to be safe

with what I offered.
