“please be as
big as your space.”
shelve
every moment, big or small for all to see
consume sushi burritos, ice
cream tacos, disappointment and success
you are both the product of your upbringing and
the slick Toronto streets:
your inherent judgement your guide
slide breath into books
and memorize landscapes
and capture soundscapes both mundane and enigmatic
ensure both shoelaces are tied
blazer pressed straight
ensemble thought through;
never neglect finishing touches
absorb Toronto skylines from an Ossington rooftop
walk through frayed soles until heels become flats
leave yourself enough buffer time after clocking out to say
yes to lakeside movies
be here now

every moment, big or small for all to see

you are both the product of your upbringing and

and capture soundscapes both mundane and enigmatic
ensure both shoelaces are tied
blazer pressed straight
ensemble thought through;
never neglect finishing touches
absorb Toronto skylines from an Ossington rooftop
walk through frayed soles until heels become flats
leave yourself enough buffer time after clocking out to say
yes to lakeside movies
be here now
