Maureen McManus Poems
All my life I felt I should apologise
because I’m smart.
Like Camus,
as though my intelligence
...
Your voice on the phone was like holly
spiky with red berries,
like Christmas white
feathery snow and cold brightness;
...
In the candlelight
the long thin leaves
point spindly fingers at me,
poking at my guilt.
...
When you say I can’t touch your furniture
I think you mean I can’t touch you
and I say I wouldn’t.
...

The Best Poem Of Maureen McManus
Smart Like Camus
All my life I felt I should apologise
because I’m smart.
Like Camus,
as though my intelligence
was an insult to someone.
I’m not that smart you know
it’s an act.
When I stand in front
and you see smartness,
you reflect.
All it is,
is hunger.
