CONSTELLATIONS
IT WAS ON WEST QUEEN WEST THAT I SAW
THE CONSTELLATIONS
Last night a huge meteor streaked past my
window right in front of the glowy-red CN
Tower Every night a light show wizard at
the switch He must be on lysergic acid Some
nights the show induces vertigo
But this light show was the real deal +billions
of years old Not 48 +disconsolate on Front St.
It flashed by as my brain strained to: a) determine
if a nuclear attack b) make meaning of the bluey –
green ball of fire with a yellow tail
I already miss it +know that I am as likely to see it
again as are the 323 reindeer struck by lightening in
Hardangervidda Norway to rise from the dead Grassy
mountain plateau covered in carcasses Is that one with
a red nose? (see photo: Globe +Mail August 30, 2016)
And as for meaning maybe there is no meaning No grand
scheme No raison d’être Just a lot of ancient shit not backlit
floating around in my life in our lives Waiting to escape through
brokenhearts +mysterious black soulholes (saddest line ever!)
My friend told me that his new mantra is: LIG Let It Go This is noble
Mine is They Shoot Horses Don’t They No truthfully it’s: LTYT
Lie Through Your Teeth Just face it No one’s interested in your deep
truths or in something you didn’t do
