alarm
ringing
too
early in the morning
I
wake
just
to make sure
“Yep,
it’s too early”
and
fall back asleep
and
wake again
in
good time
to
bike to town
to
see the parade
from
the shade of
a
well planted tree
off to one side
and
there it is
our
chain of life
wending
it’s way down Bridge
Harvey
in his Model T
A.R.C.
on their trailer
it’s
over, I’m hot
Baskin’s
ice-cream
sure
hits that spot
outside
the sky lights up
anemones
swim the night
their
call bouncing
through
our town
flashes
(light and sound)
on
church walls
and
dying in the night
Dominion
Day, 1984. Spent the day
in Belleville, having biked in early.
In case you wonder, the anemones
are fireworks brilliant in the night.
