                  <text>ever constructed, but the huge and snarling waves that were driven by
mighty winds took their toll after the Titanic struck the iceburg.
Then Yzarc decided to snip off one end of the candy wrapper and
analyze its composition by use of the gigantic Xyeometer, but he had only
cut a tiny segment of the paper when the intercom paged him. Even this
tiny segment was enough . . . for Alaska had never seen the likes before.
The earth in Alaska was torn by a terrible earthquake. Huge cracks in the
surface of the earth appeared as though they had been cut by a pair of
gigantesque scissors. But that is quite preposterous, isn’t it? Or is it?

SORROW
Sorrow is the lump in one’s throat,
The wet handkerchief,
The reprimanding finger of a superior.
The loss of a loved one;
Sorrow is recalling, as we open gifts,
that a child born this day will
die for us someday!
Sorrow is the wind, as it comes and goes
A young girl’s doll with a broken leg;
Sorrow is the death of a president.
The darkness of a cloudy night.
Sorrow is Chopin’s Funeral March.
Sorrow is like the shadow of a tree,
with branches grasping for the soul,
to tear it out;
Sorrow is one’s head in one’s hands.
Sorrow is God’s gift to man.
Sorrow is darkness, that we may appreciate light —
Sorrow is a vulture that mutilates — that mangles — its host;
Sorrow is love.

BO I NG!
I have a rubber ball.
I bounce it down the hall.
To this I feel you must agree:
At time, my rubber ball is me!
—Tom Norman
