      I
      apologize
      for
      any
     
     
      misinterpretations
      since

      The
      story
      Shampoo,
     
     
      Anyone?’
      from
      last
      week’s
      issue
      was
      the
      work
      of
      the
     
     
      author’s
      pure
      imagination,
      therefore
      it
      is
      fictitious.

      once
      let’s
      set
      down
      the

      My
      arms
      tire
      from
      holding
      the
      mask.
     
     
      Somehow
      it
      doesn’t
      fit
      anymore.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Stand
      before
      me
      motionless
     
     
      I
      grow
      too
      familiar
      with
      the
      back
     
     
      of
      your
      head.
     
     
      Ah,
      SO
      THAT’S
      WHAT
      YOU
      LOOK
      LIKE
     
     
      Don’t
      move....
     
     
      Let
      me
      gaze
      a
      while
     
     
      It’s
      a
      strange
      sort
      of
      peace.
     
     
      No
      matter,
      It’s
      better
      from
      here.

      Few
      Kind

      THE
      GOLDEN
      RULE
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Have
      you
      ever
      heard
      of
      the
      GOLDEN
      RULE?
     
     
      You
      know...Do
      unto
      others
      as
      you
      would
     
    

    
     
      have
      them
      do
      unto
      you.
     
    

    
     
      If
      you’re
      lonely,
      try
      this
      rule.
     
    

    
     
      I
      am
      lonely
      a
      lot.
      I
      feel
      alone
      a
      lot.
     
    

    
     
      But
      its
      not
      as
      bad
      as
      it
      used
      to
      be
      for
      me.
     
    

    
     
      I
      put
      my
      own
      GOLDEN
      RULE
      into
      effect.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Now,
      I
      smile
      at
      people
      and
      really
      mean
      it.
     
    

    
     
      If
      you
      put
      a
      little
      kindness
      into
      someone
     
    

    
     
      else’s
      day,
      it'll
      put
      kindness
      into
      your
      day,
      too.
     
     
      After
      you’ve
      been
      served
      at
      a
      restaurant
      or
      store,
     
     
      say,
      "Thank
      you,
      have
      a
      nice
      day.”
      You'll
      feel
     
     
      better
      for
      having
      said
      it.
      These
      words
      won’t
     
     
      change
      everyone
      else’s
      world
      but
      they
     
    

    
     
      might
      change
      your’s.
