Magicians Without Borders

This past Wednesday Tom Verner who started Magicians Without Borders came to Walden. Tom spoke about how Magicians Without Borders came to be, where it has gone, and of course performed a few of his magnificent magic tricks. Magicians Without Borders travels to refugee camps in places such as Uganda, El Salvador, and Ethiopia. They also perform for orphanages and hospitals. Tom spoke enthusiastically about all of his trips and performances. He was eager to share his experiences and ended with a flourish of rainbow tissue paper trailing from his mouth.

Dysfunction - Marcy Langlais

Lightning hits her eyes as she sits unmoved
Still out of groove
Dysfunction
Spilling from her lips
Words and lies and burned out butterflies
In her eyes - dysfunction
The time rings in her ears, a reoccurring rhyme
A rhyme of a time when she could love
When she spoke sweetly when things were gentle
Dysfunction
A rhyme of a time when things ran smoothly
When thoughts made sense
Dysfunction
A rhyme of a time long ago
Demons of the past haunting her with hallowed eyes
Cruel voices stay in the air
Dysfunction
Bringing up bad choices again
She cannot erase where shes been
Dysfunction bound in her soul
Never love never smooth never sweet never gentle
Never whole
Dysfunction

Hungry Eyes - Bridgette Bubble

Hungry eyes
Ready to please
Take me away
Simply at ease
Wild at heart
I feel their stare
Though I cannot see them
I know they are there

Karma - Ryan Delisle

You see a poor old woman sitting on the sidewalk.
Try not to listen but you hear her talk.
She asks politely to spare some change.
You have enough money and you say no, feel ashamed.
Keep walking down the street and you think some more.
Would she give you money if you were the poor?
Drive out of town the next day and crash into a ditch.
Just because karma is a ruthless bitch.

Untitled - Jonathan Davis

If I ever own a cafe I will place
one chair at each table.
When I have coffee, I want to drink alone.

Sitting with an empty chair across from me drives me insane.
It's breathing into the face of a world, a society, a foolish
expectation
that screams...

Screw you for not playing with people every moment of the day.
For not surrounding yourself with chatter.
For not commercializing every second of your life.
For not drinking your coffee in a crowd.

Being lonely no longer means that you want company.
It means not having someone else on your back
for any period longer than it takes you to shower.

It has become an introvert's nightmare,
an ocean of little orange fish all following each other.
That is why in my cafe the chairs are placed one to each table.
