Public transit system is
Much like visiting –
An Asian country with a
Lot of Caucasian tourists

Ponds in the mountains –
Puddles in the rough landscape –
When viewed from up high

Spent a lot of time –
Far above the clouds today –
Feeling angelic –
Even though I was in a
Jet for the entire time

St. John’s, Newfoundland –
Welcomed me with fog – wind – and
Hospitality –
As it does many others –
Glad it left out rain and cold

Feeling immortal –
After life in the mountains –
Now back by the sea –
Having viewed life from above
The clouds on peaks summited

Wear a long red cape –

In Halifax –
From southern latitudes –
With new attitudes
