                  <text>“But David! What about interest and terms of repayment?”
“Forget it, Paul. We’ll work it out sometime. It was good to see you,
Paul.”
“It wasn’t very good to see you, David,” thought Paul as he entered
the building. He gave the canvas and an envelope to the elevator girl, walk­
ed back into the street, and lost himself amid innumerable shadows.
By some chance David was sitting, with a very warm feeling, thinking
about his generosity with Paul when Ann brought the paper-covered canvas
and the envelope into his office. The envelope had two pieces of paper in
it: the blank check he had given Paul, and a sheet with two spasticly let­
tered words, “Self Portrait.” David stripped the paper from the canvas and
gazed with his heart in his throat. In the center of the pitch black canvas
was a crudely-done solitary tin cup.

PASSION FOR THE NIGHT
Engrossed with envy.
Prosperity besets me everywhere.
Comes the sun,
I travel to my burrow and stay there.
So low, unable to face humanity,
They cringe at the very sight of me.
Finally! The deep, dark depths of night rain down,
Filling the streets with opportunity abound.
Yes, this is my life!
I love the day blackened.
Now they cannot look upon my face,
and I am wretched.
—Frank D. Neville

SMALL
the shockproof . . .
the irradiated . . .

the white and black . . .
days when the quiet pen screams to be used
days when you want to jump off the world
days when the fulcrum of life tips
the distorted perspective of late hours
plundering my mind . ...
and
the world sees me
and I am small
the world’s critics see me
and I am smaller yet.
—Steve Halversen
