                  <text>non-white. They waited.
The weary, half-starved faces of those around him reflected the dis­
couragement and helplessness he was feeling. It was now almost 5:00 p.m.
He had waited through the noon hour, thinking that he might miss a good
chance if he left.
About 6:00 p.m. the office closed and with its workers left a young
Negro father whose wife works irregular hours, whose son dies as he waits.
But there is always tomorrow.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
Jacob.
See, Jacob?
Staircase, Jacob.
Long way up there, Jacob.
See the top way up there, Jacob?
Listen! I hear somethin’ cornin’, Jacob.
Soon there’s got to be a reward cornin’, Jacob.
But now you must admit, repent your old sins, Jacob.
There’s the only way you’ll ever get to heaven now, Jacob.
Jacob
Jacob
Jacob
Jacob.
—Tom Norman

VICTORY
Like a falcon in the sky.
Triumphantly passing others by.
The victorious chant and scream.
And yet, may not know what they mean.
Meanwhile, the conquered must bow down.
And lose possession of their noble crown.
But, who really won in the end?
Of course, those who had the most to spend.

THEIR GOALS
It’s true, the components of this marvelous age.
Want it all in black and white on this very page.
Not to think, contemplate, decide, and do.
But rather, to merely follow through
By Plan A, let the flower bloom.
That’s what they want — Security of the tomb.
—Ronnie Forgey
