fatigued hope weary steps. ultimates-- in surplus " . . .do what's right." dreams discarded. times tried. keys found. years lost. casts made, casts kept: hearts broken. lengths paced. parts on a limb. "do as good men would!" omens and murky sighs. time will draw-in soon-- future becomes yesterday where are you? where, the dreams . . .? what's in your paved face? -by Hakim H. Kassim. (d.
