shrivelled+shriven

in a lakeside Ontario town where low camp was invented
selling 60 buck crafty felt gloves with appliqué there is a
perm-a-cross in the sky
with the words lest we forget scrawled across the goodyear
blimp people my age limp weighted down by smores +regret
i sense they want more

here an old goatyhipster sidelong Tom Waits energy i can see he
is slighted by my aloof don’t step one inch closer to me glare your
filmy bedroom eyes tell me you are in need of pulleys+pumps
the much touted art exhibit at the 18th century church POSTPONED!
fairytales+fantasies miniatures for the cancelled (seriously) i am told
that the artist suffered a tragic death in her family
by a woman with a red lip +yellowing wig now i sip coffee at the Dizzybird
Cafe where the merch is all march-hare🐰 i would never live here though a
rather longish visit reminds me that i am not dead as yet
