David Perry has posted on poem by Emily Greenley in the comments section. (BTW, the poet I couldn't remember in the last post was not Robert Fitterman but Mara Galvez-Breton.) Here are the three from Arras and the one David posted in the comments section.
Outside in Wichita
Are you going for a walk alone?
It will germinate in your head
How many people do you love at once?
I don't see the bumps in your head
from the crown inside your head
Are you in need of company?
You just left your sister at the house:
You just left your sins at home
You are only walking in line
Do you plan to make money
by your identity?
for Noah
body's the tool
of the soul, and
proxy for anyone
one knows
so I extend
to you far as
I reach, or
three feet:
expend your
self on me
it's welcome
that weight
Your mind
There's a chance someone could see
You standing behind a tree
Or while you change underwear
In a closet at lunchtime.
When you wanted not to act
Someone called you for a date;
You sat on the porch at night
To take a chill because you were bored.
You wanted the world to seem
Enjoyable, to stop dreaming.
for I.
I wish I lived in a blue black glass
or I wish I hadn't lived at all,
& I dream of subliming to a free essence,
watching, invisible, rambling,
& I want to go to a theatre
where your head is a huge balloon
Resting gravely above the audience,
and my special head none the less.
I seem to have made a typo in the Arras issue -- "it's" was originally printed as "its" in the poem "for Noah," or perhaps that's the way it came to me -- I dont' have the original ms. available. I can't think of anything sadder than the thought of someone taking their own life so young.
Emily was a dear friend of mine in college. This is the first time I have seen her poetry since 1989 when I saw her last. At the time I thought she was a genius. I still do, but now I can see how really young she was (we both were) and can't help wondering again how much her poetry would have deepened and broadened with maturity. I guess we will never know, and that's the bitch.

Posted by: sex webcam at January 5, 2004 06:59 AMA variable leads a simple life, full of activity but quite short (measured in nanoseconds, usually). It all begins when the program finds a variable declaration, and a variable is born into the world of the executing program. There are two possible places where the variable might live, but we will venture into that a little later.

Posted by: Lucy at January 18, 2004 09:11 PMWhen a variable is finished with it's work, it does not go into retirement, and it is never mentioned again. Variables simply cease to exist, and the thirty-two bits of data that they held is released, so that some other variable may later use them.
Posted by: Cuthbert at January 18, 2004 09:11 PMOur next line looks familiar, except it starts with an asterisk. Again, we're using the star operator, and noting that this variable we're working with is a pointer. If we didn't, the computer would try to put the results of the right hand side of this statement (which evaluates to 6) into the pointer, overriding the value we need in the pointer, which is an address. This way, the computer knows to put the data not in the pointer, but into the place the pointer points to, which is in the Heap. So after this line, our int is living happily in the Heap, storing a value of 6, and our pointer tells us where that data is living.
Posted by: Martin at January 18, 2004 09:11 PMThis back and forth is an important concept to understand in C programming, especially on the Mac's RISC architecture. Almost every variable you work with can be represented in 32 bits of memory: thirty-two 1s and 0s define the data that a simple variable can hold. There are exceptions, like on the new 64-bit G5s and in the 128-bit world of AltiVec
