poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
"Longshot" Cathy poem
Drinking again
"Old habits die hard."
Twas a magnificent beginning
Had fun fooling myself
* * *
No matter how much you said --
It doesn't work
I'm making vast efforts not to think about you.
* * *
A new girl started at work
She's real cute
She has a good personality
I'd like to get to like her
And forget you all at once
* * *
It's not working
My emotions have all been used up
for you
* * *
Maybe I'll sacrifice emotion
Maybe I'll act like I don't care
Maybe I'll tell everyone
I'm a Renaissance Man
and I love every girl equally
Maybe I'll write scores of poems
and insert different names in the lines
as I meet new girls.......
* * *
No
I'll wait for you to love me
