Union

From the arrival on the UP and the literary festival’s emphasis on multi-culturalism, the immigrant’s speech of being soft like water, and strong like a rock, to the sunset over the Royal York, the CN Tower and the Delta, to the Taverna’s menu of Meantime Ale, beets, Last Word, Verdicchio wine, and so forth.  All before the Steamwhistle as the air grows cooler. 

And we wait for Biden and the late ballots to turn the screw.  It is not the ideal world, but such a one would have no drama, no randomness, no struggle, no mood swings, no rollercoasters.  The highs are what make it worth fighting for and there are enough of them to go around.

Two weeks.  Until you are married.  Imagine.  Where did the impulse come from?  Wherefore the reason why?  Onward.  The only way is through.
