Pulse - Repost - Love Poem For Ottawa

In the middle
In the midst 
Of this bureaucratic 
Heart
Pumping
Paper
Ideas
The pulse
Of this great nation
In the middle
In the midst
Of me

 Circa 2005


Ottawa born and raised. I was a bicycle courier here for twenty years, developing a very special affinity for my city, my community, and my country.
