WISH: A Snowflake Contemplation

	I wish 
	I were 
	a snowflake 
	floating 
	from 
	the sky 
	gently 
	gently 
	kissing 
	the 
	earth 
	then 
	melting 
	in 
	the 
	sunshine.

Lis: 	(gazing at the poem) Does this say anything to you?

Linda: 	It seems as if the author wishes to disappear. This is a paen to oblivion.

Ron: 	How wimpy! Each person should affirm their life and God's creation.

Lex: 	Blaah, blaah, blaah. While we talk, snowflakes melt.
