The One

I am the one who sings in the shower I am a poppy beneath the sun I am the one who whistles while walking I am the one who smiles at strangers in the street I am the one who receives a message from a long-lost friend I am glasses raised in laughter with friends I am the one who gives and receives small gifts I am joy.

I No Longer Am

I sometimes think

of this man so desperately in love with a woman

that he constantly wore her scent

of this man who to forget her

fled to the far end of France

of this man who turned to drink

of this man who considered himself

the most unhappy man in the world

of this man who no longer wanted to live

of this man who played a role

that others played, play and will play

of this man that I no longer am…
