COLD PRESS

Montreal, Quebec, Canada
i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.

EATING LIFE

EATING LIFE


Lover's play games of Yes and No
A quick caress, a sigh...goodbye
And why?

Lovers play games of Yes and No
Of Stop and Go
Of Wait and Fate
Too late

They laugh when they want to cry
Leave when they'd rather stay
They quit when they need to try
And lie...when they walk away

Lovers play games to save face
So I will tell you what we'll do:
We'll play Monopoly, you and I
Just for a change of pace

You grab the Railroads
And buy up Boardwalk
And I'll hang onto Park Place

It's easier to believe that you are in love
than to accept that you are alone.
