because the woman who read my wall of csemate poems
has returned to read my reprise in the same wall
because she's taking an afterimage / naknadna slika
because no i'm not a festival volunteer—i'm media
because check check one two check one check two
because tonight i wander streets busy or barricaded
wander from stage to tent to market to tent to square tent
out and around again—samba rumba mambo slow blues
because it's friday night in a hooped-up small city
because nathan is community working the evention tent
because cake's "i will survive" is a wicked cover
and it's a between bands song playing on the system
because i've got to keep rollin' through the night
because today is another week and "oh canada"
by sea cadet marching band starts the case
because they're practicing for something—big drums
back behind craft college in the armoury parking lot
because ted has hit the road into the swirling
arms of ophelia—both crossing nova scotia's spine
—an evening date to walk/watch prospect storm surge
