Drifting Along With A Half-Witted Government (tune) Tumblin’ Tumble Weed http:..www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbPPnCb)

Drawing closer, that day when -
We’ll have another P.M.
Someone who listens and then -

All those drunken Christmases
All those years of pain
We can put behind [...]

Complaint

Monday September 22nd, 2008 in Uncategorized

I’m in the Fall ‘08 Antigonish Review, #154, the very first poem, Complaint. 
“It pays to be deeply suspicious of a circus
How they welcome a woman who can stick
her right foot into her left ear, smiling but
have no venue at all for a Presbyterian
minister with an important message. Or
a priest. How they erode the local [...]
