Loose Thinking On Miquelon
When we deforested Canada, then,
sometime then, we had a picnic,
un pique-nique écologique et équitable,
or at least that's what we would do.
I was making a lot of mistakes.
A tern gave me a bat on the hat
for walking too near her eggs.
Other people annoyed me.
I had a terrible dream I recall:
4 horses, pulling a sledge,
and one scary driver, hooded,
making a circle around my house
fast and dreadful.
America has its best days ahead,
I heard. Maybe mine are as well.
My knees ache. I move like the aged.
My wife gives me a pain in the neck.
What is quotidian more than vexation.
Life is not all bad.
