Nothing went right after my mom died
Not for the country
Not for my family
But, thankfully, my children were born

Depression drains
Dreams of trains
Asian rains
Miniver Cheevy, child of scorn

I thank Canada for basketball
Blame the USA
For wars, guns, racehate
And ****

Chicago
Lady of the Lake
Wendy
Early one frosty morn

          Hopeless and Forlorn
