Muffins. Churches. Velcro.
I have been up for some hours in the bakery. There is the coming to from the blankness of sleep and there is the realization that I am here again in this life, this body, this odd place that I have lived for now thirty seven years. As I get more conscious, I remember things like bills that need to be paid, responsibilities, resentments, and perhaps, if I am really lucky something that I have planed to look forward to. Maybe even some good hard work from the day before that I want to get out o...

An open letter to Toronto.
An open letter to Toronto City Council, Mayor Miller, Councilor Adam Giambrone.

There is an idling motor outside. Birds.
Head of sand.
Thoughts like glue.
I have been thinking a lot about traffic. The cars speed by on Dundas, driving towards frantic goals. So many bicycle accidents along the curb because we rush towards our destinations. I still can't believe that our ward had to fight this by advocating road parking. That we are without a city visionary enough to green itself. I feel afraid for the longevity of cities. Of my city. What I would love to propose is less ca...
