T\/T> JLJl ICiS For the month of Ms -Art Denartment is sho\C-‘ XXX Eat ^eaiit f Mary Sue Cook I see a boy I may not even know Smile, or move his hands—just so; And it brings to mind the way You smiled, or gestured, yesterday. I sit here alone in this cold, sterile room, I am alone, even though the room is full of other people. They cannot know how I feel. They are not experiencing the same dread and fear that is engulfing me. I wait. My hands are clammy and cold. I drop my twisted hand kerchief to the floor. As I bend to pick it up, I hear steps coming toward me. Has my time come at last? Is it time for me to go? But no, it is not yet my time. The clock says only five minutes have elapsed, but it seems as if an eternity has passed me by. Why am I here? I should be out in the bright sunlight enjoying the beauty of life! Only six minutes? Surely it has been more! My stomach seems to be turning to ice and my tongue is parched. The steps are coming near again! Again they pass me by. I know that they are coming for me. Why do they make me wait in torture and fear? How many thoughts can pass through one’s mind when he feels that he is in danger? I remember mv family most of all. Was it only this morning that I left them? I can remember clearly every word that they said to me before I left. The words of comfort are of no use A nameless voice within a crowd. Strong shoulders, or a head held proud; Wipes out at once reality And brings you close and warm to me. Small things, vague to all around. Talk, or laughter, mingled sound— Then a fleeting moment—just by chance. Will catch the corner of my glance; Then you’re not a memory— But my one reality. —Paddy Wall ^ Cifcle The snowflakes fall from out the air To paint the ground below. From whence they come I do not care; Their fall is nature’s show. Each flake is perfect in its right; Each falls its separate way; Yet only as myriads fit tight. Within a given day.
