Protest

I went to the protest at Hôtel de Ville last night, but I arrived 20min late and only stayed for 5 min. Everyone was watching the meeting on a projection TV, and it seemed like it was going to be a very boring event. When a security guard asked me to check by bag and coat downstairs I decided to leave instead… so much for me and solidarity. At any rate I hate protests, so it was pretty easy for me to convince myself to leave.

Another Letter to Ms. Fotopulous

Ms. Fotopulos,

I am certain that someone has brought this to your attention, but there
are currently 2 online petitions in existence regarding the Parc Avenue
name change:

http://causes.ca/duparc
http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?parc

The first one has over 15000 signatures. Since these are only the
signatures of people with internet connections, I’m sure that the numbers
of people who would sign are larger. In fact, while I have spoken to
several people indifferent to the issue, I have yet to hear a single
person in favor of renaming Parc Avenue.

I hope you don’t choose to ignore this.

Matthew

cough

not since i've smoked
have i coughed so reliably
the breath
    tickle caught
           a moment
the question of will
it goes softly
   hung a moment
        harsh release
        bent over
is it over

i don't miss my smoker's cough
