This Town
Friday, November 21, 2008
I’m blank. I’m walking through the aisles at Future Shop as if in a dream. I got the 4-Pack of Fuji MiniDV tapes. $32. I see the Starbucks drive-thru and think I really need an espresso right now. I turn into the plaza but decide not to do it and head straight back home.
I point the camera.
Choke by Tammy Lin Foreman Something's burning in this town I'll put on my orange gown You can wear your favourite sweater Bring your dog and we can pet her Meet our hands upon her back As we watch the flames fade into black We think we're so civilized But what would we do without the disguise Of bricks and steel and glass and clothes The Kingdom comes and the Kingdom goes But the heart it remains And the truth it upholds This Town. Oh this town Is wearing a crown of smokestacks all spewing smoke and the smog is so thick It's making me choke. (cough)
