"because the night . . ." thanks patti smith & springsteen
because i found a silver hoop earring on queen street
middle of the road on a manhole cover fresh black
asphalt harvest running both sides of the iron island
because i'm back in the saddle again—poem wrangler
at your service—another overcast day scouring breaks
and dry arryos in the folded scape of my grey matter
because backstage sidewalls defrienly barracks square
sugarcube giganticus lump dropped between builts
on the plot of compound land—snowfence erection
gradually fencing us in and fencing tourists locals
and other interested parties persons peole out
because ted has arrived early after waking at 4 am
after a firszt ballroom dancing lesson with heather
and after watching 17-year-old calgarian melissa
declared this year's canadian idol—he didn't sleep
so he packed the car hit the highway and drove
five hours to here including a break and traffic
because humidity that was making cobwebby air
has started condensing and falling out
