Take a Walk
We wait all day for the sun to stick
Our t-shirts to our backs. Kids like to
walk and jump over cracks in the side-
walk. Laughing and screaming more than
talking. On days off men walk one way with
shopping carts full of emptiness and
walk back with boxes full as if 24 friends
come by everyday. When the 24 bus
flies by they may blink, they may not
The days crawl by and no one complains
Why do we complain as much when it's hot
as when it's not hot enough. Maybe Canada
deserves winters as rough as we get. We
need to learn to take yes for an answer since
we wait all winter for days like this
when the days are longer and women can't
bear to wear pants longer than can be
described as sexy or inappropriate. Try not
to stare longer than is appropriate. Your
thirst, your hunger, your lust for skin might
be stronger than what's appropriate. But if
you wait, you might just miss an opportunity
to strike while the weather's hot and their
thirst, their hunger, their lust for love
is stronger than usual and those feelings
you're catching are mutual. It's a thin line
between being cussed and being kissed
We wait all winter for days like this
