SONG OF DAWNI saw the sun rise by accident. It was a horrible sight. Annoyed by its splendor, I sought refugein a moist pillow, and lay there, alone, at the dawn of another day, that brought me closer to another death, pondering the vanity of my solitude, the vanity of procrastination, and the tiresome inevitability of waking upagain the same person. It might still be possible to change, but obstinately I remain the same, hoping that others might take solacein my consistency. But perhaps they take no solace in it, perhaps they too find it tedious. John Tottenham
