You really know how to be gracious when asking a question. And tell
us--what is a "lense"? My spell checker doesn't recognize it. If you are
trying to say "lens", you obviously haven't read even a minimal amount
about photography and cameras to even pick up the most basic
information, and your posts back up that supposition. Why I hadn't put
you in my killfile before I don't know, but you are going there right now.

It's an accepted variation of lens, you dumb ***. Quite a few people
spell it that way. There is nothing weaker on usenet than the spelling
cop, and even weaker is the spelling cop who is wrong. And on top of
all that the weakest usenet dorks are those that feel some need to
announce to the world that they are killfiling someone. No one gives
a *** borg.

Jeni Ballagh's Poems

6 February 1994 (Week Six)

What we have in our world we often fail to appreciate
The wonder, the beauty, the excitment
We all too often dwell on the not so nice things in life.
The worry ,the pain and the despair.
Maybe if we altered our thinking
We may be able to act positively
And change our world to use what it has
- not what it has not-

We lift off in our helicopter,
The light snow scatters like powder.
The slices of snow tear apart
And are flung desperately into the air,
Like souls scattered in the dust.

The isolation and desperation
Where am I, How will I escape
I cannot. My only escape will be death.

A name. A casual signature.
Two seconds to write- a lifetime in exchange
The warmth of an office- the Chill of the winter
Did they remember- did they think?

How do we exopress how we feel to an empty camera *lense*
Faced with a land of atrocity
That feeling which is innermost to our souls
How can we express it in a few words?

----------------------------------------------

Bet you feel real stupid right about now. Next time don't bring a nerf
bat to a fight when you need a real bat. That's what you get for bein
g a stupid americancentric twerp. Ever stop to think that just perhaps
I was taught to use that spelling variation of lense in another
country other than the good ol' U.S. of A?
