Surburbia
A poem about where I reside in Canada
Beige brick townhouses
silent spaces of greenery
kids playing ball hockey
in the city of Richmond Hill.
Golden synagogues
white marble mosques
wooden pagoda temples
and grey silver churches
a sacred ground for all folks.
Russian supermarkets,
Asian eateries,
music stores,
painters shoppes
and mahogany stone libraries
an outdoor mall of many places.
The scent of sweet lilies
the spicy lemongrass haze
enters my nostrils as I
stroll around the picturesque park.
The chant of the drums
the song of the forenoon wind
plays in the family hood.
Neon playgrounds
slides, swings, hammocks
and candy apple evergreens
a nearby public lounge.

The Flutist
In the bright emerald forest, a woman with shiny black tresses and a glitter magenta sari watched the waves of the arctic blue basin. She heard the roaring wind, the melodic bluebirds and the orange fairies singing the July song. The raisin colored bullfrog posed on her cozy lime lilypad, as she listen to the sound of the violet minnows blowing bubbles. The Indian woman grabbed her orange bamboo flute, as she smelled the sweet scent of geranium mist.

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
