The life I wanted to live
Went on without me
Following a course
I had imagined
At the time of my decision
Not to live it
The life I chose to live instead
Allowed me a certain liberty
To see what I might have become
Deprived of the opportunity
Of being someone other than
Who I actually am
An overpriced place, with overrated writers.

Gene Kelly's older brother, Fred
ReplyDeletetaught Gene how to dance... Fred was in only one of Gene's movies
a year before Fred died.... he held a tap class at a dance school here...
my daughter danced with him.
there is much more to Paris than the Beat-ten Path
going via the side-streets affords one
less of a risk of becoming what one pretends to be
An overpriced place, with overrated writers.
