In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

  • Untitled Poem
  • Martha Aldenbrand

This is a crazy game of tenderness,talk softly, rock back and forth,laugh long and quietly, sayI am schizophrenic butyou can come in, let's playthis quiet game, pretendwe're squeezing grapes with our tonguesand tasting the juices dripping down.We're in a yellow attic,I will show you the clothesof the period, I have a muff.Do you love me for that,for showing you somethingthat is only us? Baby,slip on this shaggy coatand we'll walk out through the rafters. [End Page 17]
