He Waited A Long Time To Be With Her by Grant Guy

He Waited A Long Time To Be With Her

He waited a long time to be with her
He had to ditch her underworld boyfriend
Now he was alone with her
The woman of his moment

He exploded before he knew her

Oh my God
She howled
Holding her gut
I’ve heard of you
You’re Groucho Marx

My origins in art derive from theatre. Theatre is a story telling medium of the human condition. It may be hyper realism or absurd but it is of stories of the human experience. As my career moved from playwriting to prose and poetry I remain committed to the human experience.From the front jacket of the collection of short stores The Naked City by Sterling Silliphant – where a crime of violence and an act of infinite tenderness can occur seconds apart . . . In many respects that is what I am attempting to do with my poems and stories. I am interested in our individual humanity in a harsh and sometimes comical environ. I believe, if there is a god, god is a prankster. How else do we explain genitalia and Donald Trump. Grant Guy is a Winnipeg, Canada, poet, writer and playwright.
