When I  first came here, six years ago, I was surprised at how many aides watch Law and Order SVU. For years it's been my favorate show. I discovered even some nurses like it; I asked one why - she said because the crimals are always brought to jusice.

This is all I can write tonight. I have  to get ready for bed. There's a lot more to this piece - specifically what I learneed from an episode I saw today that taught me something about what residents in this place have been telling me: construstive criscism of my behavior.

                               A New Poem

                        "Look Back In Anger"

The  Pain whipping around my neck, searing into my skin - a jabbing pain.

Life Blood is pouring forth. 

Is this how I want to see myself leave this World?

                                   ************

In my Life I have seen great pain and great happiness. 

Like Picaso when painting Guernica, he saw "great respect for human suffering."
