the bodies pile up
one by one by one
there he is pushed beneath the ice
in a northern Saskatchewan lake
there she disappears
into the last great chat room
this entrance in Edmonton
oh, these will die on throughways in Calgary
& this old fisherman
lies on the rocky shore
of a northern Ontario lake
we hear of each death
deliciously
satisfied & noirly pleased
between walls filled with books
a way to forget all the real ones outside
far away still most
& also the ones down the street
unfictional

NOT MUCH
Not much you ever
said you were thinking
of, not much to
say in answer.
