| Potentially Pretentious Poetry I was inspired by Simon to send these out to the world at large, from my collection, "Potentially Pretentious Poetry", which I used to read from at "Potentially Pretentious Poetry" night with my dear friend, Steve... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fairy tales and the damage they did Twisted my brain since I was a kid I'm still waiting for that handsome Prince On his gleaming white steed to save me. I railed against Snow White's subservience Seven tiny husbands who made one huge mess All the same I find myself sharing her song "Someday My Prince Will Come". I want to stand up on my own two feet And hold up my head as I walk down the street But all the while I don't want to be alone And I know there's no shame in it anyway. Here I am, frozen in slumber My mind slowing down, and I grow ever dumber Unable to speak out loud for my mind Scares me with the thoughts I think. How do I manage to break free of this curse And prove to the world what value I'm worth? How do I shake off this creeping doubt And prove all of this to me?

| Re: Potentially Pretentious Poetry "The Whole Truth" I'm so sorry you Misunderstood, If I could take back the moment I would, But give me the chance And I'd say it again I know Though perhaps in a different way. What would it take To show That my dramatic statements conveyed The truth In a less subtle fashion Than I would have liked? Upon reflection, I suppose I would not Want to change what I said Or have it forgotten; Let it stand as a tribute To our inability To withstand Our own honesty.

| Re: Potentially Pretentious Poetry "The Embrace" I opened my eyes and saw the night Glittering with a thousand stars. I smiled and opened my arms And Night opened hers, too. She smiled and then opened her eyes, And the moon waxed full Spilling brilliance out over me As I danced alone closing my eyes Closing my arms about his memory, And shed a tear Glittering with a thousand stars.

| Re: Potentially Pretentious Poetry I cannot bear this indecision Its power over me is growing too strong The longer it lasts the deeper its roots sink Into the soil of my spirit and my soul. I cannot keep trying to wait it out – I should close my eyes and leap into it blind How long can I be expected to intuit blind Without knowing what the decision will be? I'm not so strong as all of this My will to hold on is fading Stretching to break with the horizon And always just out of reach.
