[net.poems] sequence I : a nightmare

taylor@sdcsvax.UUCP (06/17/83)

	Hi!!!   I'm new to this group, and have some of my more *uh* esoteric
poems to submit for your thoughts and such....Since I spew out many of them
I shall be breaking it up into 4 parts (since I only have 4 sequences as of
this moment.)

	Digression:  A sequence is meant to be a poetic 'viginette' in that
the poems contained in a sequence should be considered not only for their in-
dividual content, but for the overall message contained therein.  I hope you
like them!


	Sequence I : a nightmare.

------------------------------------

doors,
mostly closed.

let me in.

------------------------------------

the colors
overlap the edges;
the picture 
bleeds.

It seems there's just
too much to
portray on a
small
canvas.

Life.

-------------------------------------

"We have enemy launch!"
"Launch counterstrike!"
"Enemy launch is unconfirmed, Sir!"
"Damn it!  I said LAUNCH!"
"yessir"

-------------------------------------

Paranoia?
He questions,
glancing behind.
