Monday Morning

 

In a suburb outside of Vancouver one

would not guess we were in a recession

                                  or even an economic slowdown

          

                 yet a quick glance at the media

 

     the average American makes less than $30,000 a year

600 billion being pumped into the economy

 

New Conversations

 

and in a just global economy

       for a world to live at level

the planet would have to be eight times bigger

 

Just to comment on this poem,

                   addicted to my morning coffee

and the thought of cigarettes

 

It is weird for a poet,

         lots of developments…   

                                            god’s on the move

he’s not in my head.

 

Canada Lit rocks

Lenard Cohen and Adrienne Clarkson have a good conversation

with Cohen throwing in a few snide remarks

he is arrogant and talented

                                              “posterity is a paltry form of eternity”

             which is annoying

                                       Clarkson takes the high ground
