In dating profiles –
A lot of people write that
They “like to travel” –
I just write “I travel” cause
Unlike most – I can – and do!

Notes to this poem…
Removed Halifax
As my hometown on Facebook –
And left it blank as –
I don’t feel I belong here –
Not sure where I feel I do

In living our lives –
Aren’t we just fulfilling
Chain reactions of –
Subatomic particles
As per scientific laws?

Notes to this poem…
Is one more or less –
Canadian for being
Sorry-not-sorry?
One is sorry twice but is
Not really sorry at all

Notes to this poem…
Justin Trudeau may –
Know the meaning of conflict
Of interest but –
He may or he many not know
What it is in real life

If NASA had known –
About the mangåta road
To the moon concept –
They would never have sent men
On the Apollo missions

Notes to this poem…
There is not always –
More potential rewards for
Taking on more risks –
At some point it peaks and then –
Taking more risks is just dumb

It it weren’t for
The ethnic minorities –
Some Caucasian folks –
Prejudiced to them would be
Discriminated against

Notes to this poem…
Expensive paintings
Derive most of their value
Not from their merit –
But compelling stories of
Their painters and/or bullshit

Notes to this poem…
When this Harbourwalk –
Will no longer be here from
Rising sea levels –
These poems will remind of
What was once here and thought here

Notes to this poem…
I’m stopping myself –
More than all the people and
Things in life combined –
From becoming more in life –
In not taking bigger risks

Longing for the day –
When I’ll have no more poems
To post on my blog –
Only poems still to be
Written for posting to share
