Pages 18-19--Comeback
ZXCVBNMDd Comeback Windows obscured by plywood. Plywood obscured by sixes in triplicate and spray-painted symbols of gang (false) pride. Have I lived the required amount of years that would make me eligible to watch modern buildings age ungracefully? Or is what I am seeing anger and apathy inspired... Sign in to see full entry.

Page 17--DANIELA (A Profile In Courage and Survival)
Note: This is as close as I could get to putting this on the page in the way it was in the book (though it does come close except in a few places), but, at least, the message is still there. This is a true story about a friend of a friend. DANIELA (A Profile In Courage and Survival) Inconvenience... Sign in to see full entry.

Page 16--Spiritually Spontaneous & Each Individual On Death Row
SPIRITUALLY SPONTANEOUS With the suddeness of wild spring mushrooms suddenly wildly springing, an invisible stump sprouts under the feet of our mainline minister who will later apologize without having anything to apologize for.

Page 15--Ongoing & Hollywood Outsiders
Ongoing... Springtime: Earth awakens from long hibernation; wears many shades of green graced with blossoms... Summer: Lightning streaks rip slate-gray skies; thunder roars; after the downpour, a rainbow climax... Autumn: Multicolored leaves; blue, near-cloudless skies. On the crisp, cool air, wafts...

Page 14--Unforgettable Dining Experience At A No-Star Restaurant
At this place, nearly-empty and squalid, I requested their pricey chef's salad. It was small, brown, and limp-- And, as I was no wimp, I informed them, "Your salad's invalid Please excuse me for making a scene, But there's food on which I'm not too keen. Since I'm not Dr. Seuss, I have minimal use... Sign in to see full entry.

Page 12--Eat Your Heart Out, Lizzie Borden!

Unfortunately, I don't have the know-how to do this here, so I'm just going to give it to you as a straight, four-lined poem and have you use your imagination to figure out how it might have looked as a...
