[borrowing ∩ with
wax in my ears]
I like this season
The sun \\a zing
We forgot how,
ofcourse there is a hush
And I praywalk
Hooves down
There is no sense to this; so I warn them
Implications a netting
dream of precipitation of frozen teeth
there is a plank for assurance
[a danger was in slimy-crag, the jetties, 1986]
smarted by land
rashed in this season
the punkrock music in the fishstore
truncation my middlename
and at the bark, Thelxepeia’s song,
my door

Ode to Canada
Grnpa and I drank Lucky in our twenties. Tourist(s). What you call a goodlooking guy in
M——(probably headed for Ste. Catherine’s i.e. SuperSex e.g. $15 minimum). So buy a bonhomme. Below, Metro holds 1. bibliotheque 2. le Bay 3. also trains. O the pragmatic Canadian. For the warmth on the toboggan. Else yell from car “Ou est le carnival?” I have stigmata I am an American. We like Toronto better. She says in her sleep “Je ne me
souviens!” Acquiesce. L. Cohen shouted obscenities also lit up in
the last row of Leacock 132. You will
be tested on this. Top Text must be
double plus 3 cm greater than the text below, else we will sock the language
police on you. Merci. Student Ghetto
doubles as G. Village. When breaking
the barrier there is a profound ‘gasp.’
I fuck up American Cinema. Queen
E. frowns. Looney. Twooney.
Deceptively heavy wallet of maple syrup. Spread. Quebec frontier
desolate plus Tim Horton’s. Cheese curd
is a major food group. See
poutine. Broomball aspires to become
Olympic in 2004 Athens. We
Anglophones. To restore the grid we sit
in the dark drunk for 4 days. Because
politeness works as social lubricant.
We ‘write’ an exam. She ‘has’ a
nap. Stop taking everything like an
American. Memorize when it is above
18ºC it is warm but this never happens.
