insomnia 90billion01 (k).

if i were just a bat
i could use these over long toe nails
i keep neglecting
to snatch up shivering mice
from the snowy fields
and lift them into the black
wind blasted sky

if i were just a bat
i could use these unsnipped talons
to dangle from the icy undersides
of wind squeaking branches
in the dark groaning woods

i could use them to scritch
at the roofs of caves
scratch damp lichens free
while my little pink tongue
lapped dripping drops of seeped salty water
free from the great vaulted walls of the unseen underworld

Exam Time.

It’s April 27th in Montreal.  I got a sunburn on my face on Sunday from being out in the lovely sunshine all day and now it’s Tuesday and it’s been snowing hard for the entire day.  What the hell?

Given that the speaker of the house ruled against the CPC, will Stephen Harper:

1) challenge the ruling in the supreme court--forcing one legislative branch to rule against another and launching the nation into years of chaos?

2) attempt to prorogue the parliament again, thereby establishing that the PMO is not to be held accountable for anything?

3) call an election that will largely be formed around the "support the troops and be a patriot" vs. "uphold democracy and scourge out corruption" rhetoric?

4) actually comply with the ruling, work with the opposition and make all the unseen documents visible to a parliamentary committee? (hint this answer is probably wrong).

5) none of the above.

…stay tuned to find out!
