V-Day 2006

will be published in an anthology called "A Treasury of American Poetry".

I could be rude,
I could be mean.

But I can't;
I wont.

Did you know I care;
That I fell in love long ago.

Did you know I miss you;
Do you care.

I wont wait;
It's just fate.

I'm mad,
I'm sad,
I'll just be bad.

I'm not afraid to admit these facts,
you don't have to say a word,
just think,
just know,
just love,
just go.
