dear GM:
how come you are looking for bailout money so late?
didn't you foresee this dangerous situation long ago?
don't the best CFO's and financial advisors work for General Motors?
don't you need a better application for bailout money then using it to "weather the storm"?
i am terrified at the idea of the auto sector in southern ontario taking a crash but seriously, i don't want to fund something that isn't fixed. it's going to happen again and again.
it's based off poor foresight.
how come all of us without business degrees have known this was going to happen for so many years?
desperate times call for desperate measures but i think in this situation, the desperate measures should be creative reactions, and necessary change, not a band-aid.

by morning it sunk in and was all around me

i was given space and time.
i was allowed so many hours a day to let my mind wander.
i wanted to think back of my brothers and i in dark blue blazers gliding across united church steps in the frost.
i wanted to think back of us chasing each other through birch stands.
instead i looked forward.
thoughts forward.
all of these things revealed themselves.
the fog lifted.
there are still days when the fog seems right. when i want it shrouding my head like a crown. fog in my beard.
but who can sleep with a crown on their head?

full moon

there are plenty of fish in the sea.













i am challenging myself to overcome this smoothly.
to wake up and be okay.
to get healthy.
to move on.
to channel all of it into the next 2 months.
to lean on everyone else.
to wake up and be okay.

mail

broke into a post office and stole all of their stamps, roughly 5000, all to be stuck to letters, brown envelopes, and sent one by one to you until they are gone. 10 page letters in every envelope. mostly maps. sealed with wax. written by candle in another language. strings.
bicycle on wet tarmac.
brown canvas bag, worn.
hat with ear flaps.
your breath.
cigarette.
no, no cigarette.
mint gum.
licorice.
camera.
warm handshake.
scarf.
tweed.
maps.
