VERNON WARING
Lottery
mix the numbers up fill the lottery card out give the girl five bucks grab that slip of paper clutch that sliver of hope now you hold the possibility in your veiny freckled hand god knows it could be a passport to riches a path to paradise a ticket to eden or is it more than money's lure this scrap of computerized pulp it should flare like a strip of lightning this invitation to rapture this portal to freedom this license to dream

LISA M CRONKHITE
Slapped Into Reality 
In a crowded room of navy uniforms and draping white coats, they wrestled down her wrists and legs, strapped her convulsive body in thick red belts, laying her on a bed of sterile sheets, as she screamed for angels to take her away'"eyes pointed to the ice trays on the ceiling, staring directly into the light, asking, why God, before they slapped a bruise in her arm and needled her into reality.

LOIS MICHAL UNGER Insomnia
Tiredness old friend for one reason or another gripping me up I have tried all my life to find order it's always on its way 'just make a decision' he said 'one way or the other and stick to it' In the universe of things I'm a slip a strand of hair in time The trees are brown too only time is supreme.
