Nanaimo, BC 2/17
homeless on an acre or more
tent city with view of the bay
who we thought you were
staking out
the fever
twice asked for a quarter
in space of a single pioneer block
downtown a kill zone
Nanaimo undulation
take the census of the ugly
already
STAKED
the slowest one on an outside wall
an English pub
citizens in their polished zeal
poke and poke smartly
with the old
cared for
medical instruments
babies had been taken in innocence
thrust them into
THIS world
430 dead in the Indonesian earthquake
terrible musing of a Canadian prophet
who even reads these doings
