CAN WE TALK?
By Betrina Parkins
Four months ago
and fifteen days
my self-respect and pride
was taken away
I really don’t have anything to talk about
I just like the way you work your mouth..
What’s your name?,
all I once had
now is gone
he knew what he was doing
all along
he took for granted
the love I gave
why must I suffer
when he misbehaves
he had no guilty thoughts
no concern
no second thoughts
no lesson to learn
did I not speak clear
did I mumble my words
was he deaf to my reactions
was my voice unheard
.wjie
he thought it was oTay
“TmganTwh^t i-sard
and I mean what I say
/*■
He wanted much more
when I wanted to be friends
he gets off “scott free”
while I suffer in the end
I remember everything cleat"
it plays in the back of my mind
so I take each day slowly
one day at a time
I try not
to blame myself
why did he hurt me
and not someone else
why did I go out
with someone I didn’t know
why didn’t I listen to my friend
when she told me not to go
I had to learn the hard way
I had to stumble and fall
but I have to pick myself up
and stajid strong and tall
I can’t look back now
after all I’ve been through
I thank God I’m still alive
and in good health too
I can rest assure
that his day will come
he’ll get his punishment
when judgement day comes
That’s diO'erent. If you look your name up it stems
From ecstasy and imagination. If you were put to the test
Could you live up to the name you so freely give...
Where are you from?
I just wanted to know if all of the men there fill
Their pangs the way you do.
I saw you getting out of your car. Are you able
To handle curves the way an experienced driver can...
How old are you?
That’s my favorite number. By the time I count
Up to it I'm always in my favorite position...
Can I call you sometimes?
At first I’ll ask for you by name but before it’s
All over I’ll spell it in Latin.

Is Life A Dream Or Is Dreaming Life?
By T. B. Maynard
What is the meaning of life
that’s full of struggle and strife
we are free because, we fought for our rights
now we’ve got to wonder if we will live to see an-
other night;
In the morning their is sunlight
in the night there is moonlight
Time to put your head upon your pillows
thinking if the world will change tomorrow
because we are living in conflict and sorrow
you doze off and begin to dream
sometimes they could be made real
and realize that life is a big deal
Then you might go to the next
thinking about hot erotic sex
this is life also, but yourself you must protect
now you’ve got to come to an end
to get up and the day you've got to defend
and wonder if certain things will happen.
