staircase poem 4

sink: please wash out
art supplies in here
instead of washroom thanks
free verse not paint-
by-number poem kits
remember having a tin
of pain pucks brush and
paper—ordinary paper
not watercolour or artist—
and i was painting small
landscapes in a passenger
seat during family drives
action landscape painting

crisp morning after full
moon academic cage match 
to be or to un-b might
be a research question
qualitative self-interviewing
vs ontario tory mp's quest
for when life begins that begs
his understanding of what
is life and how/when/if
it is self-sustained human
life he asks about or
a rebirth resemblance
of a new politician
