A poem from my book: With Open Arms: Poetry for Big Love and Real Life
When I become your friend, I want to do with gusto! Puppy-style! If you are a cat, I don’t know if we can work it out.
Cats are geniuses at “playing it cool”. Me? Not so much!
Play It Cool
The fact that I met you
Means that I love you
I want to hang out
And talk with you
And walk with you
Do you want me
To act like
That’s not true
That! would be
Very hard
For me to do
I never learned
How
Or why
To play it cool
