I watched
yet another
youtube video
more Vancouver
something Hastings
gentler brother
yore somewhere
before this
brutal other
litter strewn
core city
cruel time
more ruins
sorry story
blinding sidewalks
right here
bitter sirens
right there
jittered environs
minding people
living sirens
lying prostrate
splayed out
try cement
pavement mattress
lost everywhere
occupying drugland
half bent
nuclear thugland
waist down
some stand
living nowhere
rude found
powerful descent
hopeless frowns
what crown
what dreams
right here
ever dreamt
oddly even
some where
over there
I thought
I saw
Jesus staring
or maybe
cross bearing
Elijah being
some how
even there
each alleyway
who cares
teaching hunger
lost bearings
reaching wonder
took me
pointing yonder
maybe Moses
will appear
surely plant
willing seeds
watering desert
dissolving fear
filling needs
walk streets
resolving greed
share fashion
caring compassion
poke us
stoned right
many storied
curb life
tempting Pilate
show up
tempest stick
stormy sea
temptation appears
tragic life
no redemption
that drowning
being here
no exemption
actual fear
just surviving
rapture this
being clear
enraptured bliss
created here
