Mabel Vera Cone 1893-1911 No one knew I existed. No one knew I died. No one, not even my family, Knew I lived in the back, Out back, way behind the small white house On shady Canobie Street. No one cared one iota. No one wondered where I was Or where I was going. If loneliness were a flower, I would be the faded one, Growing and struggling...

Yep, this summer is sooo nice - Everything's running as in a race. It's hot, you ask the nurse for ice To cool off your wicked long-haired face. Windows bear long water drop hues, Quirky birds are soring in the sky. Girls in special hospital shoes Look as geese that are trying to fly. Stillness and coolness, all is loose.
