The pork is being chopped
and the bok choy wokked
You’re bringing home dinner
to feed the mewling mouths at home,
but

On hearing of his death, Gord Downie’s words dance through my head:
I am a stranger
You can’t see me
I am a stranger
Do you know what I mean?
On a secret path
The one that nobody knows
And I’m moving fast
On the path that nobody knows
And what I’m feelin’
Is anyone’s guess
What is in my head
And what’s in my chest
I am a stranger.
Gord Downie, The Secret Path, 2016
Now’s not the time
Show some respect.
Now is not the time, never now;
the time was yesterday.
Before.
So hurry, quick –
tomorrow’s shooter is readying.
Talk gun control today
and show some bloody respect for tomorrow’s victims.
