Title

The Outside Club

by

Jeff Baker

From childhood’s hour I have not been

As others were—I have not seen

As others saw—I could not bring

My passions from a common spring . . .

From the thunder and the storm—

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of heaven was blue)

Of a demon in my view—

- Edgar Allan Poe
