[borrowing� ∩�� with
��� wax in my ears]
I like this season
The sun \\a zing
We forgot how,�
ofcourse there is a hush
And I praywalk
Hooves down
There is no sense to this; so I warn them
Implications a netting
dream of precipitation� of frozen teeth
there is a plank for assurance
[a danger was in slimy-crag, the jetties, 1986]
��� smarted by land
rashed in this season
the punkrock music in the fishstore
truncation my middlename
and at the bark, Thelxepeia�s song,
my door

Ode to Canada
Grnpa and I drank Lucky in our twenties. Tourist(s).� What you call a goodlooking guy in
M��(probably headed for Ste. Catherine�s i.e. SuperSex e.g. $15 minimum).� So buy a bonhomme.� Below, Metro holds 1. bibliotheque 2. le Bay 3. also trains.� O the pragmatic Canadian.� For the warmth on the toboggan.� Else yell from car �Ou est le carnival?�� I have stigmata I am an American.� We like Toronto better.� She says in her sleep �Je ne me
souviens!�� Acquiesce.� L. Cohen shouted obscenities also lit up in
the last row of Leacock 132.� You will
be tested on this.� Top Text must be
double plus 3 cm greater than the text below, else we will sock the language
police on you. Merci.� Student Ghetto
doubles as G. Village.� When breaking
the barrier there is a profound �gasp.���
I fuck up American Cinema.� Queen
E. frowns.� Looney.� Twooney.�
Deceptively heavy wallet of maple syrup.� Spread.� Quebec frontier
desolate plus Tim Horton�s.� Cheese curd
is a major food group.� See
poutine.� Broomball aspires to become
Olympic in 2004 Athens.� We
Anglophones.� To restore the grid we sit
in the dark drunk for 4 days.� Because
politeness works as social lubricant.�
We �write� an exam.� She �has� a
nap.� Stop taking everything like an
American.� Memorize when it is above
18�C it is warm but this never happens.���
