Hi everyone,

	A friend sent me this poem today, in an attempt to
console me about my most recent (and o-so-bitter) breakup...

Escapist's Song

The first woman I loved, he said
Her skin was satin and gold
The second woman I loved, he said
Her skin was satin and gold
The third woman I loved, he said
Was made in a different mold
She was deeper than me, and told me so;
She was stronger than me, and told me so;
She was wiser than me, and proved it;
I shivered and grew cold.
The fourth woman I loved, he said
Her skin was silver and gold.

		---Theodore Spencer

	Do I feel better? A little bit...

			Love to you all,

				Ann
				"The Third Woman"

"Welcome to the Pleasure Dome..."
