(james, i want you to know that i composed this one with paper and pen... maybe you'll look upon it more charitably as a result... lol) *~*~* Under the floodlights of this empty station's empty parking lot, there is nowhere left to hide. And so I come, a pilgrimage through midnight's silence to witness the darkness, defeated by technology. Did it make the choice to be obliterated? My own soul cannot survive the silent light any more than it can stand the darkness. Years ago, when man began to stamp it out, did the darkness, too, feel this forsaken? 1.24.00 kara~garbe ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:43:05 -0500 From: Annie Hickman Subject: ET: Red River Lake Red River Lake (Crimson Running) You have to learn To let me crash down I'm an underwater thing So I like to drown Suffocate me I feel the porcelain break A blood fever down my lips Winding to the Red River Lake Say it again, Brother My fingers don't quite understand You say to drop the blade But then I'd be left an empty hand Empty hands don't sing you to sleep Shattered marrow in a pain that runs deep The circumference of your mouth Not enough to bring me out Savior, Golden One, where are you? I'm drowning in Red River Lake The surface has scarred over But I'm still in her wake The funeral procession Starts its ascension Tiny fists don't stop wars Air escaping fiery lungs My language now all gore 'Ere the future where crimson runs Rapunzel lets down her hair She didn't see my angel anywhere Climbing out I snap her neck Lickety-split, down the trek Casualties outweigh survivors always As is found in vain bloodshed Grey is here to stay; no more blue days I have found rain on my dead - -Annie Jan. 25 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 20:32:55 EST From: DPS8315@aol.com Subject: ET: Sprinkles&Tissue Well I'll just jump all over tonight and say, at least for a few hours, I'm caught up. C ritqueness Land of Inhibition Comments, blah. No regrets- Because we chose this- Everything that's beautiful in salvation in this morning's sunrise, because what we don’t want to be is a nation of forgetful regretfulness, a people of misgivings about the indecisiveness that threw us out the door or down staircases when we were children- no one ever got the chance to choose the frame of their destiny, but with the colors you discover, in magnificent exodus, flowing away from the doctrines they force-fed you, you can fill your frame in the radiant brilliancy that you chose this yourself. Jan.19.00 ______ A calling to the new way of ideas That came tumbling down from inside of you To everything in your world below, Dissatisfied with the way you've lived your life: In scarce moments of brilliant divinity Surrounded by insurgent poverty Of the richness of life you craved- You wanted to indulge In the afterlife today, And here's your chance at immortality- Come and dance with me Jan.19.00 ______ and you cant stop screaming or yelling or crying and suddenly you wake up kicking your desk and softly whispering "I still love you" as the image of your lover fades away into the realization that it.was.all.a dream, and you're actually an hour into Mr Smith's World History class And now everyone's looking at you crazily, But you've got the notion That they all know how it is, Trapped in forever and yesterday And all the goodbyes of everyone's nightmares: They understand. Jan.20.00 ______ wondering at the end of days, from the dawn of you and what you bring, I remember slowly making my way Down the streets of our childhood, That ran forever between us, And down inside of you- Beautiful, you brought me out, Welcomed me to a world, Beyond everyone and and everything That ever held children down.

Females in general haven't been affecting me one way or another. I'm getting my flute his Saturday! I'm sooo happy! God is like soo nice to me this whole week. Those of you who know what Linux is..I got it installed FINALLY on my computer after a BILLION failed attempts(Woah...better success record than with females! I'm impressed!), and then yesterday(Tuesday) the city of Philadelphia was like shut down because of snow and stuff. I think something HAS to go wrong though..I'm just waiting for it. Anyhow, something happened and I guess I don't really wanna talk about it here..not like in my life or anything either. But like I wrote a poem about it. If you wanna ask questions or make comments, flames, etc. feel free but don't feel obligated. Also, if you don't want to receive my poetry any more, let me know and I won't send it anymore. Take cares and Have an Excellent Day!! :o) -Seth ======================================== I hope you're never happy by Seth D. Fulmer 1/26/00 We only held hands but we said so much She removed the beautiful ring and she laid it on the sidewalk All that she had said to me weeks before that date about loving me forever was from then on history She said she couldn't see us going together and holding hands kissing, hugging, having sex or even getting married She told me it wasn't my fault that she just wasn't ready Well damn you bitch you lied to me I hope you're never happy I said I'm sorry I didn't mean it My heart just couldn't hold out I needed someone to burst out to Thank you Lord for not giving up You are a good friend indeed You love me to no end You put me on a pedestal higher than Mary was put in the Vatican ------------------------------ Date: 26 Jan 00 17:54:27 EST From: genben@usa.net Subject: ET: ramblings have we ever looked at life through a prism? seen the fractals bouncing off of each other? making us all look like snowflakes falling and bouncing light rainbows in the ground rivers in the air mountains in the seas breathe in the water and swim in the breeze climb waves and surf on trees play ball on the clouds and see pictures in the grass anyone can do what they're supposed to... ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 20:38:41 -0500 From: "Kevin B.

I'm impressed!), Hey Seth, don't know what flavor of Linux you're using, but if it's giving you trouble, and you don't have Red Hat, try Red Hat's version (www.redhat.com), the install can almost be done without input, as long as you don't have completely funky hardware. I don't have much experience with other flavors (Corel, SuSE, Debian, etc.), but I've yet to find a machine that's _all_ that difficult to get up & running with Red Hat. I've got their next-to-latest verions (RedHat Linux 6.0) running on a couple of old HP workstations at work for evaluating some applications & the performance of Linux itself, and the installation for Red Hat was a piece of cake, even using the "custom" installation model (which allows you to pick & choose what pieces you want installed...)
