I can’t belong now –
So I will withdraw to work
To belong later–
For eternity later –
Where they don’t and won’t belong

Hope all my doubters –
Live long enough for
Me to prove them all wrong – twice

Notes to this poem…
Hey!
Just wanna say –
I haven’t –
Spent –
A cent –
Except for rent –
This month of May –
Until today –
The 13th day –
Yay!
Hip! Hip! Hooray!

When people look through you as
If you were a ghost –
Come back to haunt them!

Notes to this poem…
Going to airport –
For two weeks with one suitcase –
On a street I see –
A lady going around –
With her life in one suitcase

Notes to this poem…
Give me a ladder –
Don’t need no elevator –
Nor escalator –
To get myself to the top –
I like a climbing challenge

Notes to this poem…
He played Für Elise
For 20 minutes on a
Public piano –
Summoning Beethoven’s ghost
To haunt Halifax-Dartmouth

Do not forget me –
After I’m gone cause I’ll make
You remember me –
And more than ever before –
Whether you like it or not

Fairy tales can die –

Notes to this poem…
My stars are aligned –
But I must still go through them –
One star at a time –
To get to my destiny –
From where I am today
