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.

THE SORROW TREE On the day of Judgment each person will be allowed to hang all of his/ hers unhappiness on a branch of The Great Tree of Sorrows. After each person has found a limb from which their miseries may dangle, they may all walk slowly around the tree. Each is to search for a set of sufferings that s/he would prefer to those s/he has hung on the tree. In the end, each person feely chooses to reclaim their own personal set of sorrows rather than those of another. Each person leaves the tree wiser than when they came.
