ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
I have voles in my backyard I find them drowning
in the bucket with bulging eyes and wistful smiles
Backstroking their way to Paradise They will be the
first to enter the gates when the trumpets blow and
the meek in droves arrive home Swing low

ETERNAL RETURN
We live in a world where 100 teenaged girls were
kidnapped from their school in a copycat crime
Lagos Nigeria late last night And here at home in
Calgary a gentle would-be law student rampaged at
a party with a knife Also a copycat crime
In these first days of Spring we’re focusing on
renewal but some darkness has moved in from
the edges The gentle boy tweeted: the world needs
a hero He also spoke of dread & the fugitive mind
quoting the metal band Megadeath
It’s likely that Yeats was right The rough beast on slow
thighs has arrived and arrived and arrived
