    I keep hoping to see one of El Corazon's poems appear here one day ! And once in a while, I feel like throwing up a short (let's say under 2000 words) piece of my own original "surreal" fiction, one I believe has a technoid geekish edge, which may, I immodestly fantasize, entertain some of you lot of literati, beer storage-depots, outlaws, bearded ladies, death-metal cultists, and chimeras escaped from the Island of Dr. Moreau, found in these here parts : but so far the clanking chains of the ghosts of restraint past brush me off like lint. Appreciate your opinion. I thought about the "Soapbox" : but the writing I have in mind has no political, religious, "moral," "lifestyle," "platitudes for self-improvement," "admonishments to avoid damnation," or usual didactic do-do agendas : in fact, quite the reverse. thanks, Bill

      Perhaps we should have a fiction section for just such a purpose? I'm pretty sure my earnest attempts at prose would elicit a laugh or three...

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket, The man and the girl with the bucket; And he said to the man, He was welcome to Nan, But as for the bucket, Pawtucket. Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset, Where he still held the cash as an asset, But Nan and the man Stole the money and ran, And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

                                    that is fiction... you exposing everything, that would be horror.... ;P okay here is some non-fiction: It's Me (June 2000) A chance at some fame A chance at recognition Who could pass that by? Hours slaved to create it Weekends lost to my work, Pouring my heart and soul Into a machine with none. A light beam flashes out A science fiction dream Becoming reality today But invisible is the beam That reaches into the sky. What can be done to show What is not seen with eyes? Yet a computer world is mine Where all things are seen! They ask me to give sight To their miracle of design. Five weeks of hard work Completed in only three. Sixty seconds of sight To that which is unseen Only one small part taken Merely ten seconds whole On video seen by millions. One small anonymous part To show the invisible, And no one knows it's me.

                                      There once was a man from Nantucket Who kept all his cash in a bucket. But his daughter, named Nan, Ran away with a man And as for the bucket, Nantucket. But he followed the pair to Pawtucket, The man and the girl with the bucket; And he said to the man, He was welcome to Nan, But as for the bucket, Pawtucket. Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset, Where he still held the cash as an asset, But Nan and the man Stole the money and ran, And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

                                      I thought you only posted original poetry...

                                      Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall
