NUMBER ONE.


3 things on my ‘life to live’ list of tings
 I'd like to do:

1. I want to learn how to paddleboard
2. I want to go skydiving
3. I want to adopt a child

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind number one


1964

I first fell in love with Elizabeth Dent
in Woodstock Ontario, in Grade 3
beautiful, humble -  hot
total smoke-show

elegant, timeless, even at 8 years old
I kissed her 3 times under her winter hood
out in the woods behind Springbank School (her idea)
in March '65 - it was surreal

shortly after I turned 9
I found a stack of Dad's playboy mags
stashed under his tool bench
in the basement in a box

Mom was snoozing that afternoon
and he was away - traveling salesman/absent father
on the road a lot

I knew nothing and was curious
flipping through the pages - naked girls/wow 
pulling out the centre-fold
and almost fainting

feeling aroused at 9 even
not a clue and just as well
blondes always my preference
ever since

televised beauty pageants
make-up, high heels - lubricated tanned skin
that provocative smile
tailored to tease

boner ... I mean bonus

our preoccupation with beauty is distracting
my own attractions (still) ... conditionally condoned
how it's supposed to look

how it ends up looking

Elizabeth was my number one
still is

in a world that only you could know

only light can do that

SMOTHER ME


she lowers her lashes until they almost cuddle her cheeks 
then slowly raises them again
like a theatre curtain

TRAJECTORY UNKNOWN


over-confidence is the best way 
to give your soul to the devil
one inch at a time
that said

I have no idea, where I'm going

MIGRANT

I think it's an enormous blessing 
to be the child of an immigrant 
who fled oppression 
because you realize how fragile liberty is 
and how easily it can be taken away

an estimated 1.2 million migrant children 
are bought and sold into sexual slavery each year
most are in South Asia and most were born 
in surrounding countries

they migrated young
many traveling by air or water for days/weeks
to get where they are now
somewhere better
