Wouldn’t it be nice –
If we turned blond –
Instead of grey –
As we grew old?
‘Tis but a shade away

Justin Trudeau likes
To apologize for what
His government did –
Not do – just for what other
Governments had done in past

Notes to this poem…
On the Harbourwalk –
There are few who walk alone –
And even fewer –
Who write poetry –
Two more ways –
In which I am in –
The minority

Notes to this poem…
Having to win a small lottery –
To get a ticket to play the big lottery –
Love in Nova Scotia for me –
As an Asian male visible minority –
Compared to the Caucasian majority

Notes to this poem…
I get my happiness here –
You get your happiness there –
Should we share?
Should we compare?
So there –
Can be happiness everywhere?

Notes to this poem…
Hey!
Just wanna say –
I haven’t –
Spent –
A cent –
Except for rent –
This month of May –
Until today –
The 13th day –
Yay!
Hip! Hip! Hooray!

I am back –
In Halifax –
From southern latitudes –
With new attitudes

Notes to this poem…
If you died –
Before all these famous folks died –
You could welcome them
To the after life –
Rather than part from them
In the current life

Gonna do my laundry naked –
So everything will be clean –

2016 was the year –
I lost patience with my world –
And faith in humanity –
Though not yet in Destiny

Notes to this poem…
Reunions in 2016 –
Many there have been –
Some were by chance –
Others were by plans –
Still others were plans
Afforded by chance –
Most were real –
But some were virtual –
Waiting to become real

Take the mangåta –
From wherever you are –
And meet me at the moon
