BEHEMOTH
THE BEHEMOTH BARELY BUDGED
I kept my wits with me and I tried to get my
rubbers off but I couldn’t I said I’ll end my life
right here Tony Morgan 79 after colliding with
a 40 tonne Humpback in Newfoundland last week
His younger brother Jerry dead from Lou Gehrig’s
pushed him up out of the water
Not so fortunate a 33 yr. old Somali man who in
another part of the country was beaten to death with
clubs by police They hit until he pass away until he
dead His 5 brothers nor his suicided father could save
him You can’t help but think if he was another colour
He was not perceived as a troublemaker but ran from police
who used batons+pepper spray on the mentally ill brother
The most gruesome thing I ever saw said a witness This in:
a gentrifying area of downtown Ottawa!
The first Monarch appears beside me on its way to Mexico via
Pelee + Appalachia heralding the end of this bloody summer –
the hottest in Canadian history

Save us from shotguns and father’s suicides.
