By Jack Joseph Smith

Jaugeline watched Animal in glances from the children and Jiven Joe. She saw a position tak- en in the long bone of his nose. That was com- forting. But the brow had been wished wild. (More than mine to troubled joys I come) Grinding teeth. "Who care's?" Maybe the image of prehistoric had got together this name of An- imal. What kind of Animal? (An Appaloosa horse of the North Pacific to ride under the tree to- pped sun amist the filtered shades of Ingmar Bergman light) She shreeked a fast laugh. The movie of the taverns streeked too through her mind, and she was back to him. (Lips full the top same shape of the heart A red on black carded King was dealt out to Spades I let him pass unmolested But this time the queen's in my shoes Which incidently I don't have) The children were beginning to pass out the door. The music and grace of the children was quiet and removed from Jaugeline. Joe was a directing a soft- ness through his music to them. Hawaiian, Calypso, and classic self as a feeling.

Jaugeline watches Animal while the children leave, and her inner fragments show how difficult it remains for her to separate tenderness, fantasy, and danger.

The page keeps shifting between observation and inward lyric. Joe's music softens the atmosphere, but Jaugeline's thoughts still come in jagged, private forms, which keeps the whole evening emotionally unstable.
