Hey Douglas,
I just noticed that you are from Edmonton, Alberta - you actually live
about 25 blocks from where I grew up...living in London, UK, it's nice
to see a little touch of home.
Being new to this group, I'm thinking I'm understanding what snapshots
are - but can someone fill me in...
Thanks,
Heather

second time around's not better
loopholes loopholes
outward & empty courage but
politics is corruption now
power alone &
youth must serve age
serve? served up
endlessly into the maw
contemplating war & the fear
on which power keeps hold
now & for ever amen
down on their knees
slaves slaver as ordered

There was the usual amount of corruption,
intimidation, and rioting.
