LCBO journey vignettes

1
paved with gold


long line
___like geese
___like Beatles
leaves cross the street
___pirouetting
___like Trudeau sans the Queen
wishing they'd hold tight
not ready for fall.

2
hold my licker


Went to the licker store
Got myself some licker
I needed that — had a good, stiff tall one
helps me sleep
a good licker'll do that
___every time
wish I could manage it on my own
maybe one day

3
great rift valley


in sandals
___She walks before me
___with each step
___a split second
___bares her heel
like something
___primal
______forbidden
ceaseless
___sensual
______slap
_________slap
____________slap

'midst straight lines and steel
concrete and clock knives
it really doesn't take much.
