Does anyone really care what happens today?
SYZYGY Concert.
Day before the second Friday the 13 in two months.
Twas midnight all along the
darkling path.
A stooped figure hobbled through
the night
Pronouncing winded curses out of
wrath.
The moon rose as he stumbled into
sight.
I hail'd the stranger, bid him speak
his name,
And he responded, "Homer am I
called
By those who know me. You may
use the same."
As moonlight struck his face, I was
appalled
To see his blunted features, raving
eyes,
Wild flaxen hair in ugly disarray,
Protruding ribcage, and, to my
surprise,
About his neck a bloodstained
scarf of grey.
"My plight," saith he, "is not like
other men's,
For I like other men, and they
resent."
And as he spake, a telephoto lens
Appeared beneath his scarf, all
cracked and bent.
And then the sorry story did he tell
'Of unrequited love, and
photographs
■ Of one fine athlete boy that he
' loved well,
And rugged rogues who beat him
> up for laughs.
His saga summoned to my eye a
tear
' That he was born for other men to
mock.
> I bid him, "Fare thee well, and
have no fear."
And as he left, I hit him with a
' rock.

Written line by line by various
members of RELI 312:
The 928S purred down the
quaint lamp lit street, the couple
inside quietly smiled at each other,
both thinking of the evening to
come. Almost unconsciously (as if
from force of habit) she peeled off
the sleek black leather glove which
clung to her thin, but athletically
firm forearm, and coyly let it drop
on his lap. The glove startled him
so much that he slammed his foot
down on the accelerator, rocketing
the black roadster up to 130mph
and sending her into an orgasmic
giggle. The speed of the car was
both exciting and scary, causing
her to sit back in her seat, calmly
lock the door and prepare for the
ride to come. Then she said "Come
on baby, I'm ready!" The car began
to vibrate as she fully relaxed into
the soft leather seat. As the car was
vibrating, a voice said "Come,
baby, come." He reeled off to the
side of the road, barely able to
control his passion for her; he
swung his body over into her
bucket seat, positioning himself
carefully. All he could feel was her
warm breath down his neck and
the sensation of her probing hands
exploring his inner thighs —the
engine roared. Suddenly a large,
plump, four foot bratwurst
popped out of his Levi's.
Suddenly, the Atom Bomb went
off. "Oh dear!" the girl twittered.
"What to do?" Yes, the girl had
pressed the ejector button and her
amorous beau was rocketed out of
the car, his bare behind trailing
behind him, traveling off into the
cosmos.
