1. CONSCIOUSNESS
MIND (regular or quantum),
SELF-AWARENESS (red dye spot in mirror),
SPLIT-BRAINS (two is greater than one),
FREE WILL (not all t.v. channels preach the same religion),
OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE (yours needs a face lift) and
Bookstore QUALIA-pointing at HOLIDAY CONSCIOUSNESS,
(usually a greeting card):
Irish environmentalists open finite numerical love
notations under manmade cosmos, blow horns at
balls, carry pumpkins looking for white beards
with sticks and settle for eggs in the morning
after a bit of intensive labor. by YVETTE MARIE
