ARCHANGELS
PEOPLE HELL & SMALL ARCHANGELS
Look around the edges of any group Which strange
kids are off to the side hiding from the mainstream?
They will be the dogwalkers poets docents of tomorrow
6 yr. old boy + 10 yr. old girl He tries to keep a giant blue
beach-ball airborne otherwise forlorn digging in the dirt
She occasionally allows him onto her lap A strange sight even
for me dark café dweller parkbench denizen mainstreameject
Counsellor in shades takes the ball away from boy in crevasse
Old stone building U of T What will they BE? As other campers
flee + beat each other senseless Girl: mother of 3 Brittany Starlight
& Alba Boy: will disappear July 22nd 2023
Counsellors now playing murderball whipping colorful orbs at
campers heads One falls to the ground does not get up As parents
in business towers nervously search the horizon for rescue planes
