the destruction
of the

CENTER
was surrounded
in every dimension
by the pain
of my
aching tooth
and infected
jaw
that I treated
with the scorch
of whiskey
and the nausea
of codeine,

but the tooth
is gone
now
and my tongue
is drawn
to the yawning
gap
where it probes
the bleeding
crater
like an eye
beholds
the aborted
skyline

Don't bring me down now,
let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short,
let me bathe here in your smile.

I agree with those before me.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
