There needs to be a
Word for real people with
Whom one interacts –
But with whom one is sure one
Will never meet face to face

Notes to this poem…
What is the word for
People willing or wanting
To be friends with you –
So long as your friendship does
Not evolve past preset points?

A great place to be alive –
Rather than to live –
Halifax to me

Not everyone
Out for dinner tonight is

Notes to this poem…
Those who are alone –
Are the least common species –
On the Harbourwalk –
But for those who are alone –
And composing poetry

I’m happier now –
With more time alone –

Notes to this poem…
Old little lovebird –
Living in an apartment –
Often in a cage –
What did you do to get a
Prison term of 18 years?

Notes to this poem…
No moon on this cruise –
For a week until tonight –
When there’s a half moon –
Is that how it works far north?
It was great for this cruise, though

Notes to this poem…
Cruise ship Helideck –
Is all mine again tonight –
Guess all the other
Dreamers had their dreams fulfilled –
Sadly – not little old me

A jet collided
With a star in the night sky –
But nothing happened

Notes to this poem…
Celestial arch –
Horizon to horizon –
Rainbow of the night –
That’s the Milky Way as seen
From the cruise ship Helideck

Notes to this poem…
Thunder of ice falling –
Next to silence of water flowing –
Hubbard glacier –
Thunder of water falling –
Next to silence of ice flowing –
Mendenhall glacier
