OUTASIGHT
THE LIBERALS ARE BACK & WE THINK IT’S OUTASIGHT
Fall canopy floating to earth all around Hoarfrost on the
ground Trinity Bellwoods Park Gold wolf plaintive howl
Hunger in the eyes of scratching men One practising Tai Chi
far too close to me Bruce Springsteen needs a new plane asking
us to shell out dollars again for re-treads of: The River Can’t
we retire too?
Perhaps get through this election day with conscience intactus
Everybody’s gloating over voting stratagems In 3rd year Poly Sci
Professor Smith of the natty bow tie said: In the West we have
delusions of democracy while in the Bloc they know freedom’s
just another word for Bolshevik Menshevik Putinik
Tomorrow the lilting rhetoric of Justin Trudeau will ring out across
the Nation sans the pirouette This son lacks imagination Spouter of
safe diatribes inch to the left inch to the right The fountain in the park
is stuck on ON today water more pristine than anything we have seen since
August
Soon the voting station at the park’s edge will close +West Queen Westers
flock home in droves Tonight top-knots will unravel as craft ale flows like
a River In Tuesday’s pale dawn light lumberjacks+sailors will lament while
the rest of Canada hold hands Stratagems be damned
