Lily:	Why this weird spelling?
Linda:	Isn't it a way of reminding folks not to take words too seriously? Some people fight wars over fossilized words. No human ideas should be taken so seriously. Words are simply words.
Ram:	Ah there's something playful about these poems . . . only our talk is heavy.

Barthing Place in each person's heart is a place where dreams ere borne 'n hope starts sumwhare deep inside wisdome is nourished an inspiration thraives ta come ta this magick sweete ansynthyn place ya must let tha roots of erethyth moments weave through yer imagination turning thoughts inta geometric shapes tis easy to forget the pissin ah centuries when maind is sliced 'n spiced 'n kooked in the dêpths ah space . . .
