A SPIRIT PARADE

06 06 04 - 05 10 11

downtown
tourist town
root stew

selves sought out in a land
where no one fully lives

the main street sidewalk
a spirit parade
infinite

yet the way to work evolves
like a burning candle
the superimposition of new faces
onto old

a demographic almanac of movement

To me this sounds like city life, not sure if you wanted it to come out that way haha, but it reminded me of that.

Great poem Steve

Thanks Kels :) Yes it is a reflection of city life, a tourist area in particular...it's based on my time in Alberta many moons ago lol

[Destinyxi]

Haha well I did spend one night in Montreal in '03 I think it was...that was long enough to learn it never sleeps :P I wish I could've stayed longer...

This strangely DOES remind me of a little town in Canada. Well spoken.

Would you believe it was written in Banff, AB? :P It doesn't feel like a small town when you're there but it is...good call :D

[Eloha]

Yeah I felt a native influence in it too...dunno if there are totempoles in Alberta? heh

[kublakhan27]
