A Poem by our newest member, Catriona

ALOOF
(OPENING/CLOSING)

I detest feminist movies
You said.
And now you’re seated next to me
Aloof and impersonal
Wrapped in the warmth of
Your red jumper.
You’re rumbling complacently
With eyes turned inward.
While
The crowd is buzzing with refined

Intellectual sounds.
And me standing in the middle,
Beside your self contained bulk.

It’s cold today.
