Canada Road Trip Mini Packet

 

Bug bites upon bug bites

Queen of the Swarm

Glacier National Park

Where the trees huddle close

I have bathed in rose petals and 

it has attracted 

mosquitoes.

Firebird swoops low over the waterline and scans his environment.

                       Swooning, he dips into the surface skim

                                     and rushes to deliver important cargo to those who need it.

On the way to Banff

white butterflies

splatter against

the windshield.

A metaphor for life?

        

                                   Heading back home after                   

                                                     2 weeks on the road.                

                                                                   when traveling is your happy place

                                                            you can feel the pressure        

                                                                         returning with every mile      

                                                                                                  the closer you get to the city.

                                                                          

                                                       The way the smog curls

                                                around a pinked horizon

                                                       reminds me of every single

                                                  reason it is so damn

                                                          difficult to be alive.

Am Hi

lounging by the river.

A filter dropped and
it's windy.

I've inhaled helium
and
am being bombarded.

The wind threatens
to blow everything away

Should I let it?

SOARING
high above the trees, a Kpop music video
I've never seen, where the scenes constantly shift,
always in a nicely decorated box.
As the lights flash in and out
live snaps are brought to doe eyes,
at the speed of light they walk.

CAMP
trying to figure out how to change clothes
the hardest thing you've ever tried to do,
but if you stop now you'll be naked.
Pick up a book and try to read the words
but they keep falling off the pag
                                                   e

FREAK OUT
Fight the float, rationalize
take thoughts in steps,
turn mush into action
Marvel at the horrifying realization
that you could sit there for hours
and stare at your hands,

the most interesting tools on Earth.


FAST FORWARD

Fin.

      Unzipped Tent,

                     Indian style

GIGGLE
realize you're being watched,
cast your marbles upon a circle of chairs
at once
the heads turn and laugh
and stare


Shit. Trippy.
