SELF-CENTERED?
To be a writer, you have to be sufficiently self-centered to think other people might be interested in reading what you have to write or hearing what you have to say. Many people think the writing is all about the writer. They may be mistaken.
No, it’s not all about me. As you see, that would be absurd. But then, it is pretty much a one-person show.

VIEW FROM KYIV

Distant blazes twinkled in our eyes.
Now we look up and see lesser lights
that scorch our Ukranian skies.

DEAD TO RIGHTS
I confess to have written some dreadful poems.
I’ve abused innocent words –
kidnaped them, held them against their will –
captive, under deplorable conditions,
to suffer in horrible poems.
And I might have gotten away with it
if not for the vanity that compelled me
to incriminate myself
as I do now…
— Mike Cohen
