We have had the pleasure of collecting art from Capital’s creative and talented students who continue to amaze and influence this campus. I’d like to thank the staff’s enthusiasm and endurance throughout. I’d also like to thank our ReCap advisor, Dr. Kevin Griffith, for his continuous support and guidance. It has been an honor to witness and experience such an inspiring process. It is brave to create. To take risks and explore authenticity. While creating may not be easy, the outcome can be extraordinarily rewarding. To the readers and contributors, thank you and enjoy.

Lisa Simpson is a Boring Character
Clarence Blaisdell, second-year, Nursing major
“Lisa Simpson is a boring character,”
you said.
“Get out of my bed,”
was on the tip of my tongue.
“I haven’t watched the show much, though,”
You said just to stay in my bed.
I didn’t say,
“Get out of my bed.”
I said
“Ok.”
And ignored what was
in my head,
the slap in my face.
Out of place
in my hometown
where no one listens to
Motown.
Lisa Simpson does.
Lisa Simpson loves Motown
jazz, and woodwind.
She would not remain pinned
to a bed
by a force
in her head
forgetting who she is.
Liberalism,
feminism,
and a vegetarian too.
Lisa stands up for what’s right,
and so do I.
at least, I try.
But when i’m laying down
I think of my hometown
and Motown
and no sound
comes out of
my mouth.
He wasn’t worth my
“Ok”
when he told me
I am
a boring character.
