=**LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR** = **Gwendolyn MacEwen**
 * From:** //Afterworlds//. McClelland & Stewart, 1987

Let me make this perfectly clear.  I have never written anything because it is a Poem.  This is a mistake you always make about me,  A dangerous mistake. I promise you  I am not writing this because it is a Poem.

 You suspect this is a posture or an act  I am sorry to tell you it is not an act.

 You actually think I care if this  Poem gets off the ground or not. Well  I don't care if this poem gets off the ground or not  And neither should you.  All I have every cared about  And all you should ever care about  Is what happens when you lift your eyes from this page.
