Bicycle Rickshaw Stand, Outside Lajpat Nagar Metro Station, New Delhi, India

In the Cacophony

The Cacophony
Of motion and sound
Falls away
Deep into the background
As he waits
For the next fare
In a peaceful quiet
Of his own making

Bicycle Rickshaw Lineup, Lajpat Nagar Metro Station, New Delhi, India

They Wait

They Wait
Because there is only
     Sleep
     And pedaling
     And waiting

Vancouver & Stanley Park, From Lions Gate Bridge, British Columbia, Canada

Vancouver

It is, after all
Just a small collection of buildings
Snuggled up to a forest
Surrounded by water
In the shadow of mountains

Dominated by nature

Which is, of course
Its greatest appeal

Aren’t we all
Afterall
The same
All around the world

We learn to forget
We’re children

Triangulated, Alphanumeric Sphere Sculpture, New Westminster Public Library, British Columbia, Canada

Hardened Shell

Cutting through the hardened shell
Of cognitive dissonance
And confirmation bias
Reveals a frightening realm
Of ill-defined objects
And unresolved detail

But better to crawl through
To this wilderness of consciousness
Than remain unconscious
Battering the cage
Of my own ignorance

Alphanumeric Sphere, New Westminster Public Library, British Columbia, Canada

Angles and Hard Lines

I have made myself
A collection of angles and hard lines
A manifestation of steely pride

Still the shadow of nature
Falls upon me
With her supple forms
Her irregular grace

So I quiet the urge for being
Let her sunshine warm me
And become the bough
Blowing in the wind

Emergency Ferry Terminal, Porteau Cove Provincial Park, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Emergency Use Only

The rain came hard
The mountains came down

In torrents
Of mud
And rock
And trees

Wiping away bridges
Wiping away people

The road broke down
So access broke down

Continue reading Emergency Use Only
