SHOW TIME By Howard Fergus The volcano must be family to some people that I know; it's as temperamental and dramatic -- always loves to steal the show. We have come to Christmas morning without alarm or siren calls, just a blowing of the nose, and a clearing of the throat -- Soufriere joining the contagion of that cold going about. You are conscious of the poses of the mountain, like those folks who cough to draw attention to their entrance to a room. Invited or uninvited, Soufriere can spoil a party. I hope it does not leap up on stage, give an unforgettable display as it did in '97 on Boxing Day. But do not hold your breath -- except for fear of drizzling ash and catching fever from Soufriere. With this volcano nothing's ever over until it is all over. from Volcano Verses, Peepal Tree, 2003
