Losing You

The hardest thing
I’ve ever done

In my life

Is losing you.

I know I’ve hurt
Us both,

But myself
Most of all.

I let myself

Believe in a fairy tale,
And let myself,

Hope you believed, too.

I’m sorry we started

What we couldn’t finish,
But more sorry we couldn’t
Finish what we started.

As darkness overwhelms
me,

I can say only that I’m
SOIry,

And although I have no
right to ask,

Can I still be your friend?

. Over The Edge

sex is a powerful weapon
it can bring such pleasure
it can bring such pain

it can bring joy

it can bring heartache

it can be used for love

it can be used for contempt
it is for a lifetime

it is for a single night

it is for to let go

it is for to hold on

it means nothing

it means everything

it is a loving need

it is a selfish want

it shows possession

it shows loss

it is deadly

it is the loss of innocence
do not be mistaken

- SEX IS NOT LOVE...

The Gliplings

Summer light dances upon the beach,
And slowly, as the sun starts to set,
».. The waves crawl back to meet the

horizon,

lands

- Sheila Wanner

But the uncovered sand’s still wet.

In this sand, the gliplings play

By the light of silv’ry moon.

At night, they’re safe from prying eyes;
Why does dawn come so soon?

As sunlight greets the eager waves
Tiny footprints disappear.
But amid the splash of rising tide,
Faintly, you can hear

' Silver laughter bubbling forth
From thousands of glipling throats,
For hidden from view are the glipling

O’er which the gentle sea floats.

10: A very obscure clause in
our constitution requires that
we have to reach every single
minority on campus for the
sake of political correctness
(the next issue will be about
people with extra fingers and
toes).

9: After doing nothing but
seasonal issues
(Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Valentine’s, Hallowe’en,
etc.), we realized that we had
to cover many more bases
(soon, we'll be doing a Fall
Fashion issue, a Sex Issue,
and a-“We’re-All-Going-

_Crazy-Because-We-Had-

Four-Months-To-Study-For-
The-Final-And-It’s-
Tomorrow” issue).

8: We got really sick of doing
sad issues of Over The Edge
(free prize if you actually got
that one).

7: A very strange individ
wearing a dark hat, a trench
coat, anda pair of shades

handed us this briefcase...

6: Paul Berard balked at the
idea of making the next issue
into one big Top Ten list.

5: A representative from the
Women’s Centre asked us
really nicely (actually, we
probably would’ve done it

anyway).

4: To see how many people

Top Ten Reasons Why We Finally Got Around To Doing A Gay Issue of Over The Edge

we can offend (as if we don’t
do that from issue to issue).

3: For the same reason that a
dog licks its own privates.
Because we could. .

2: To. open up the narrow ~
minded conventions of |

society.
1: We all slapped our
foreheads at the same time

and said, “The heck with it!”
