Ville-Marie
Never let there be any doubt that you stood up for your rights to accessible education & free assembly before they were ripped from under you.
The rest of the provinces sneer at the price tag on your concerns. A mockery of social democracy, they have decided. That financial troubles should disqualify sound ideas is the reason our human society crumbles.

It is like I am some sort of Stupid Thing factory & they all come pouring out of my mouth.

the chemist & his carriage
Two avocados, a chocolate chip cookie, bagel with veggie cream cheese, & orange mango pineapple juice. Chase with water.

Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation is actually more letters.
& a rogue hyphen.

I pick up on stuff I call “character spikes”.
When the Real You shines through that glossy exoskeleton

I set up John’s architecture office nicey-nice. Film scanner work to commence tomorrow after I finish covering for Tim at the restaurant. His car was broken into over at Jared’s place (in the deepest darkest shadows of New Haven) so he’ll be otherwise occupied or something.
We played disc-golf today. I did not know what that...
