Humpty Dumpty Complex No prince has climbed my walls to save disquieted dreams from inevitable ending that pushes me off the shelf. I fall to crack in half with no love to glue me back together again; But, I leave myself disjoined so no one will ever break my heart. It's safer that way lonely sometimes, but safe. I pour the puzzle pieces of me back in the box of no guarantee close the lid and let Cupid shake a coffin full of scabs and scars. Melissa Long-Monette Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

This poem becomes more serious as it progresses. The first stanza allows for general recognition of dreams of falling or falling out of bed. It is the speaker's dream that pushes. In stanza two there is the gloomy self-defence of a heart that protects itself by not pursuing love. In the final stanza, the speaker half-heartedly accepts the possibility that love may yet exist, so Cupid is allowed to shake the box again, but it is like rolling bitter dice made of scabs and scars. |

Demanding earth you decorate failed sub-blicants (- means I cant remember the words) Did gray of a building touch Did mitre of what may have been discourse Did words As Volcanoes awaken Change you for one moment From your course Dave |
