no, not enough stir /
in the morning churn /
echo of the door squeaking /
a last time before the signature flips history /
into a new saturated colour /
it would be useful if we were all coloured red /
bleeding into each other /
in crowded photos of a sidewalk moment /
Yonge Street 1984 /
the face of god at Eaton’s Centre /
pock marked and all the atoms /
searching for a river /
to survive it’s important to ignore other people /
accept that they have already expired /
unless they have a sun chained to them /
make me as useless /
as noon in the arctic /
or the memory of a kitchen timer /
keep a million dead in the loop /
hanging in the town square air /
swaying with the cries and shouts of the heated citizens /
every dock is half a thought /
the waves make it clear /
there is much more
