1.
Profane imposters
Grasping only stone and earth
In Jerusalem

--Shannon, Shannon@hkstar.com

2.
Burdened Bob Dole falls
Rail collapses with his weight
Jack Kemp throws the ball

--Charles T. Michel, cmiche19@mail.idt.net

3.
Clinton feels our pain
A Rhodes Scholar he remains
When did jocks get brains?

--Charles T. Michel, cmiche19@mail.idt.net

Tiny Newt has plans
The contract is his demand
Anarchy results

--Charles T. Michel, cmiche19@mail.idt.net

5.
Mean spirits make plans
Building jails throughout our land
To warehouse the poor

--Charles T. Michel, cmiche19@mail.idt.net

6.
Wings of graying stone
Poised against the mist-filled dawn
Gazing sadly on

--Mary Ellen Walsh, skating@bc.cybernex.net

7.
Wild-haired rebellion
Pounding metal corridors
Convulsive rhythm

--shannon@hkstar.com

8.
Beer-soaked brain spinning
And misfiring random thoughts
Abstract existence

9.
Only I exist.
Everything else falls apart
if I turn away.

Genes is the first book
Ancient tales comprise the text
Who knows what's next?

It's grey like the rain
I'm helpless in Seattle
Election choice? None

Now, it's time to hide.

You were everything.
I don't love you any more.
But your smile still hurts.

Votes--votes--we buy votes
Bill 'n' Bob stand cheek to cheek
Moneyed words, they speak

When it is ours then
we are hamsters. Otherwise
we become magpies!

If somebody says,
That he really knows something,
I just let him dream.

Though I don't love you,
we could still be friends--she said.
An eternal lie!

Oh, Lady Amber!
I don't love you any more.
But I still miss you.

Without any sad-
