**Zach
*Companion
waltzed onto Toronto as a television classic: the attempted gypsy wife, the life invented,
the long effort of antics performed: the vibrate, the conjure, then the jealous witchcraft it had been invented for;
the story of One seventeenth of a century: 581 burned cameras.

**Lisa
*Carnival Celebration
Hallways billowing smoke Rancid sewage with stench Anxious aggravated and angry
Strangers holding babies Guests lifting wheelchairs Camaraderie and compassion
Faces tugging to smile Moving to the sight of port Fresh air, cell phones and family
Carnival Triumph

**Jackie (Writer of the Week)
Lady of class wife of a senator. She drinks in silence, her husband reads. Her black coachmen waits, til
she retires to her chamber on mouse-colored silk. She descends, as she calls it....
She rises, smooths her dress and walks downstairs The footman announces, her carriage waits.

*Doss Confronts Fire*
He was a man
When 75 men moved on a summit
fire crashed into them
Doss refused cover and remained in the fire
carrying all 75
one-by-one lowering them
400 feet
Later on high ground
Doss remained
in the fire giving aid
while men took cover
A man was wounded by fire from a cave
Doss carried him
while exposed to fire then
wounded by an explosion
he cared for his injuries and waited 5 hours
to be struck again
suffering a fracture of 1 arm He bound his arm and advanced
Doss saved many
His name became a symbol

**Tara
7:45 am Tuesday. Rows of colonials with kitchen lights on Tree branches like knife slashes against a milky gray morning sky. Stout blue plastic statues stand at the end of each driveway, attempting to escape this week but will only be gutted, again, and abandoned. Heat escapes from idle car exhausts Leaves drift down the asphalt by the February draft Vacant neighborly greetings are held together by nothing but toothpaste. Salt stained cars with frosted striped windows creep along their narrow paths. The traffic lights linger longer on red than they do green. Today is trash day on Brown street.
