Why we can't see eye to eye on things like this or anything else for that matter

Lay of the day:

i.
get the protesters off the damn highway.


ii.
wash the smell of last night and you out of my hair.


iii.
almond milk, mangoes, guava juice, spirulina. blend.


iv.
[queen und bathurst]

The early morning pulse of
reggae guitars leaks out
onto the street, riding
the scent of fresh coffee

Last night's addicts emerge, coming
down from where they've been,
coming inside because they do

The early light cutting through
the city's interminable cold,

drying fresh tags sprayed across
angry buildings, faces,

signs plastered on power towers
perforating this once dark place


v.
do not come back the way you came,
find a new way.
