Two Lessons At The Bus Stop by George Kelly (Concord NH) ­ A man sits alone on a park bench waiting for a bus. A blooming flower garden is in front of him, and his past is behind him. He is half way “home”, and is beginning t o reconcile with his own mortality. Whatever you Want by Tom Z. Spencer (Manchester NH) – The story of a young man who taught himself English from one source…Shakespeare. Surprise number one: no one else speaks in verse.
