Dating Steve
and there is
in his eyes
some old truth
like whales know
and would share
if the risk
of spears were
not part of
what they'd learned

Liz Matt, 60, of Cinnamonson writes that she's "the last person anyone expects to be a poet." Under the name Lizabeth Starr, she hosted AM/Philadelphia at 6ABC from 1984 to 1995, and now works in public relations in Old City. She says her "life changed" at 35, when she attended a poetry reading at Moonstone Arts Center. "Dating Steve" is about a man she'd met in a Paris cafe. Liz Matt and Steve Mushinski have been married now for 23 years, and their only child is about to graduate from college in New York City.
