I'll get a list to the list soon ... ;) The 1998 WRITERs' Valentine's Day Contest Remember, save your critiques please and send you entries to Michelle and me not the list for entry into the contest. ***** Did you know? Did you know those cows stink through all the air thick and soupy by the dairy pens there on 99th Avenue near Glendale when the sun goes away and the watermelon sky dims to carnation, melts into the night and the cold air sinks down, held low to the ground by the lingering day air above? Did you know love for you comes over me sometimes like friendliness over new neighbors? like something else on snowy mornings that steamy oatmeal with its dark stains of brown sugar just there milky swirls make perfect sense then like sharp longings for something better or different or the same Did you know, love?
