Writing From Back Issues

 

From "Pre-Dawn Aphorisms"
by Libby Scheier
(Toronto, ON):

I accidentally planted the garden twice this year,
there will be a war of the seeds
and the fittest will survive.

what to do
with party left-overs -
take him or her home

"Texaco" by
Nancy Ryan Keeling
(Cypress, TX)

I miss the years when you could trust your car
to the man who wore the star. The spiffy shirt
and cap. A chamois in one hand and a red oil
rag in the other. Saying "yes ma'am" as he
squeegeed the windshield longer than he needed,
so he could look up your skirt.

"Outpatient" by
John Fell
(Thunder Bay, ON):

His personalities
are integrated:

ignore the two shadows.

"Why I Quit Athiesm" by
Kenneth Leonhardt
(Cincinnati, OH)

Nothing lasts forever.
