Published in One Town Folio, 1998. Sponsored by The University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics Support for the Arts Foundation Photo of Bernice Day-Daniels as a young woman. Asked to record some stories about her past, her lower lip quivered.

Framed in Silence Mummified figures climb multi-directional stairs like shadows of Coleridge’s opium dream in this piece of art entitled “Relativity” One couple sits eating another twosome stroll arms intertwined Their wrapped feet inches from the ground like Dali’s wife Gala suspended above her chair The figures faceless in their tightly enclosed humanity My eyes fix upon one lone figure who stands two steps from the top Held in abeyance unable to continue Hanging her head as if Escher has had her released from Prophyro’s dark closet Her outstretched hand grasps the railing like the grip of a child’s fat pink fingers digging into her father’s flannelled arm at a Halloween haunted house Mutations framed in silence within this surreal world of the artist

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
