I Am Not My Fear
I feel I am drowning
In open air,
Clawing at dirt that isn’t there
No one sees my distress—
No one really cares

Of glasses and plates
Echoes of breathing and voices
Assault my senses,
And still I cannot breathe…
Even as...

The Solitary Ones
Although I greatly loved socializing, I really enjoyed being alone,
Like ebony evenings of magic, with no ringing of the telephone.
Since my young childhood, I had been, an introverted extrovert,
Like one with eyes to azure skies,...

Lovable Robot
Helpful Luca always has my best interest in mind
Upon arriving home, her eyes quickly blink three times

Accordingly celebrating, commiserating, sitting
Siliconey arms casually yet awkwardly snake
my back...

Better Than Having Nothing To Say
I begin again
on the same path I take every day,
past the familiar fences, hedges
and duck under the same

No's
No’s
Talking to themselves in the third person
Detached, separate,
ominous—a stilted nuance that does want to know
Abrupt attention spans lashing out as the deadends foreclose
Cutting back on all the backslapping
Having wanted to believe all...

Singing On the Bus
I used to sing on the school bus,
Harmonise and everything, full blast,
Most of the others had strong voices,
And I would wish mine was cast.
Geoff the driver would put Radio Forth on,...

Over the Golden Week
Over the Golden Week:
Despite autumn, weather stubbornly refuses to cool.
Started all on a plane, the studied indifference

Stay Away From Judgemental Linda
She looks snobby, judgemental Linda said.
I observed the newcomer who looked a bit stand-offish.
But perhaps it is because I had not met her yet.

She was...

So Smart It Hurts
SO SMART IT HURTS
Some have logic as their source of fun
But most would never think that way
Let down barriers and open the mind
It works most of the time, you’ll find
Yet always let a genius have...

Squids, Like Sunshine
You knew I was angry
As we walked apart, along Spadina
Through the pungent summer air of Chinatown
Past the various sea creatures, dried or iced
And fruits I don’t know piled atop sacks of rice

Aquarian Goddess of Wolves
An Aquarian Goddess with a wolf power animal
She often keens at the moon, howling her truth
Others are a bit frightened at her confidence.
