SELF – PUBLISHING
SELF – PUBLISHING IS NOT FOR SISSIES
This isn’t really the season for that
Spring would be better for a biking book
I have stumbled upon Booksellers & wonder
if I will be discovered like an old time movie star at a soda-fountain
They bandy about famous author’s names & I see
a folder poking out of a bag with the name of my
favourite Press (ecw)
The woman has a pink pedi red sandals & the guy
a Twiggy haircut like mine in Grade 6 Wait!
She has just noticed my shoes pink metallic brogues
She tells me that they catch the light so perfectly
My stomach does summersaults there will be instant
recognition when I arrive at her door My book will be
ready December 1st Patios empty & BBQ’s moaning in
the cold But I will appear sockless in my pink metallic brogues
