They speak of it,
the work that was done.
They whisper in legends
of the fanzine of yesteryear
and they say “it will never be surpassed!”

Their numbers are few,
but they are dedicated.
The tens speak of the glory days
of the zine they contributed to
stapled, copied, and handed to one another.

Those were good days.

The copies yellow
when taken out of their protective cases
which is often.
