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.

* Random Acts of Living *
I cannot sing the song of the Lark/
I cannot chase away the dark/
I cannot reason the evil we do is from lack of self-control/
I cannot give you back your once lost soul/
I cannot tell you why the world is so full of tears/
I cannot erase each and every one of your fears/
I cannot teach you inner peace/
I cannot explain why wars never cease/
I cannot chase away the rains/
I cannot erase your inner pains/
I cannot make the sun to shine/
I cannot make we earthly mortals Divine/
I cannot teach others how to be forgiving/
I cannot heal another's living/
I cannot feed the wolf at your door/
I cannot clothe the homeless poor/
I cannot give you the reason for happenstance/
I cannot change your circumstance/
I cannot tell you where the rivers flow/
I cannot tell why the harsh North winds blow/
I cannot protect you from the frigid cold/
I cannot teach you to embrace the fragile old/
I cannot teach the birds to fly/
I cannot tell you why your one true love lied/
I cannot tell you why God let your child die/
I cannot chase the lonely from your heart/
I cannot give you the gift of dreams apart/
I cannot ease the lonely feelings in your heart/
I cannot tell you why this crazy world has gone awry/
I cannot tell you about the why in 'goodbye"/
I cannot ease you in your growth/
I cannot tell you anything you didn't already know/
I cannot tell you why you will not see/
I can't tell you what I don't know, only that I am me
