    If you ever change your mind and decide to pursue further creative writing stuff, and Dr. Cabri is teaching, you should definitely submit this. He loves stuff like this. Your writing is a shocking reminder of Emily Wunder here. I wonder, do you know her?

    Good for you to go nuts with language and experiment!

    Will I see you around this month? Literary poetry series!!!! Fred Wah 4:30pm Katzman Lounge March 12 && *******PHOG OPEN MIC 9:30PM MARCH 13 (Also, March 13 Fred Wah 7:30pm @ Pause Cafe 74 Chatham St.)

      Emily and I are good friends. She actually introduced me to this style, and in trying my hand at it, I'm sure I'm imitating more than I ought to. I wanted to experiment, so I did. I'll try again eventually.

      I wanted very much to go to the Fred Wah thing, but something told me to stay away. It turns out a certain undesireable person was there, which same person also showed up to my choir concert in bloody St. Catherines. Sarah is angry.

      I'll come to Phog, let's walk down together. It's too divine out to bus or drive.

        Yes. I noticed a glance upon him and quite shocked I adverted the hell away. And it was probably for the better.



        MY WORD IT WAS LIKE ALL THE ENGLISH MAJORS SHOWED UP Like I got to wonder how many English profs. made their children go for for reports, bec. seriously, by the time I got to the food there was humus. Humus Sarah!!! Ok, there were also like 5 crackers and slabs of tortilla. But I had to pay for my jus d'orange and 'twere no Vodka to go in it >: ( Very disappointing. Though, Wha was all right enough, but still. I wanted a frigin' drink. lol. It was one of those days.

        Yea, the reading was all right. I don't know, I kind of felt that I had seen more entertaining readers. He's not bad. There's also the Pause Cafe thing tonight @ 7:30pm -- not sure if I was planning to go to that. Could try for both if you're feeling ambitious! LOL

        OH! Some day. Maybe 26? I can't remember. . . ALISTAR MCLEOD is hosting the English Social for the end of the year. (This would be like the last one with Dewdney *nod* ) OMFW!!!! Have you ever seen/heard the man read??????? He is the man. The man reads. Reads well at that. He has this awesome, just awesome Biblical jargonous tone to him -- he is one of the greatest story tellers ever.

        Oh, yea. Um I'm sorry but driving and busing wasn't even an option. You don't know me, sister, if ya didn't know dat.

        We shalt be walkt er 8ish? or early if you want -- should be around with my msn

    Interesting approach. I have not seen such an abstractly laid poem on the page in a long time. Thank you for sharing it.
