Written for a friend a while ago and haven't posted till now.
If I were you I'd live in my mind.
That deep escape from the confines of your bleak world
Where manifistations of reality hold you and say it's alright.
Where someone's touch or the curve of their shoulder is only a thought away.
The only ones who feel your pain are miles away.
People without faces.
The exterior is only a mask.
Inside it's empty.
Steal away from the steel-faced nobodies.
Come and see the open-minded.
Where my world begins and I'm just another nameless face.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
