Some of us experience Feeling X, even if
you yourselves do not
Some of us experience Feeling X, even if you cannot relate
Someone paid attention, but no one shared the pain inside
World of dudes and honeys, you make the spirit’s journey hard
Please feel free to stare; it’s only natural to stare
Please don’t panic; I am not an entity to fear
Let me fail to answer your stupid questions in peace
I am not your servant, and you were never my…

I am the fingers that love your muscles
I am the palms that adore your skin
I am the hands that bestow caresses
I am your arms when your strength is gone
You are my comfort and joy in struggle
Healing and warmth when the world is cruel
We are renewed when we hug and snuggle
We are the halves of a perfect whole

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
After years of blame and pressure
After years of self-denial
Anger cracks my tooth-enamel
Call this posted text “depressing”
Why the fxxk are YOU complaining?
Every day, the world is colder
Every person’s just a soldier
Now, I fear I can’t recover

Suddenly, I felt this strong craving for fruit
Suddenly, I felt this dry ache in my throat
Suddenly, I felt that Kraft Dinner is gross
Suddenly, I needed sweet, natural juice
Suddenly, I needed and grabbed that can of pineapple-slices
Suddenly, I felt the relief of making sensible choices
Suddenly, I knew my whole diet is shxt
Suddenly, I felt this strong craving for fruit

Walking from
Marion Street to the
Millennium Library and back
Daily routine of returning to the shelves and discovering a book
Living without the experiences others can recognize and share
Learning that nobody reads about the
cares and concerns of
the bizarre
Yeah,
I’m still okay, for those…

Dangerously slippery ice on
Winnipeg sidewalks
Moment when it rained and it froze, a treacherous nuisance
Ambulances rush to the scenes where bones have been broken
Winnipeggers awkwardly walk in terror, with caution
Each foot shall slide in due time
Safe just to stay inside home
Frictionless terrain is a bane that drives us to madness
Dangerously slippery ice on
Winnipeg sidewalks

Push a shopping-cart through the aisles of the Retail-Maze
Boxes, jars, and cans, grams and litres of wants and needs
Endless, grueling, soul-numbing task that my spouse enjoys
How I hate the grand scenic tour of competing brands
What a relief to finally haul the groceries home
Mention another “coupon” or “sale” to me, and I’ll scream
Has to be the most deathly-spiritless chore of chores
Push a shopping-cart through the aisles of the Retail-Maze

You were the friend who gave me a haircut for free
You were the friend who leaned on my shoulder to cry
Now, you embody Thoughtless Authority’s fist
You have become Vindictiveness, Failure To Trust
I do not lie to a friend who cuts my hair and cries on my shoulder
That’s a rash slap on the

There is no way to know how long you will wait; thanks for your patience
We are just human; we are pawns of a boss, part of a process
We have kids; we have spouses; there shall be food, clothing, and shelter
We are all sleep-deprived and racing the clock, dealing with pressure
After we have served you, have a nice life
Nobody is here to cause the world grief
Read the large text that’s posted up on the wall; didn’t you notice?
There is no way to know how long you will wait; thanks for your…

You, the master of power-control, you demand blood, gold, and silver for your strength
Youth is doomed in the name of your own crown and throne; iron-fists are flattened in your wrath
Kings and pawns can be crossing a new border; just draw some imaginary-line
Take the honor, and brag at the sky; gloat and stand smug; just be proud of your design
Stand over cultures like a great giant glutton over a banquet
Shout vocal thunder to the mob; enjoy your most definitive moment
Yakkety yak and bl…

Leave the soul’s wrists in legislation’s handcuffs
Leave the blamed-victim’s life as a blood-on-canvas
Ask the wrong questions; hate all the answers
Leave the soul’s wrists in legislation’s handcuffs
Proud shame oozes down the septic tank of the heart
We sick humans live devoid of tigers to hunt
Cain killed Abel, and Dorothy killed the Wicked Witch of the West
Gulp down gallons of blood; eat the nailed body of Christ
Let there be failures to communicate; who could care less?
Punish the…

Dollar-bills and coins enter and leave the wallets of enemies and friends
Mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends fill with reminders of your dreams
Demographics enjoy comforts that you are failing to endure
Now you wait for a last chance to remain as innocent and pure
Kings, queens, bishops, rooks, knights, and pawns rule the face of the Earth
Feet march, left and right, race against time, forgetting to breathe
Now you wait for more lessons in sharing everyone’s frivolous concerns

Welcome to Quicksand Island, the home of Lower Fort Knox
Here, you are fed for helping to move ginormous gold-bricks
Here, you are clothed for flattering every briefcase, each tie
Shelter you get for punctual shift-attendance each day
Now the complacent-people, without even a clue to stand on
People who wave a magic-wand back at each solution
People who read a high-verb low-pronoun diet
Welcome you here, to live a life lost in the public-armpit
Now, and not one single nanosecond later th…

Once upon a duration of chronological time
Monday mornings were tangible, ripe salvation from shame
Interpersonal dialogue bubbled under the sun
Now we live in an age when the Eaton’s Building is gone
Queen Street died in the birth of Portage Avenue
Fast change happens, and life becomes a vertigo
Real truth never conforms to any weltanschauung
No one paradigm ever covers everything
Bite the fruit of a tree; enjoy a full meal
Break the ovary wall, and let the seeds fall
Stand where othe…

Winnipeg’s heat in July and August bakes and bathes your face in your salty sweat
Sandals and shorts and our anti-sunburn-ointments, getting scorched in the rays can hurt
Days when the hornets and wasps and bees are droning, cursed Al-Qaeda of insect-life
Days when our toes and our heels go naked out on sand; we splash in the tides and laugh
Lemonade, ice-cream, and popsicles
Buildings with blessed air-conditioners
Lawns and mosquitoes enjoy the drenching rain, and humans notice the stars…
