Notes About The Poem

My love poem to my home town, capital city, of my intimate relationship with and connection to it as a career bike courier.

Pulse

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

A great description of a very interesting occupation. Is it the US capital or a state capital? In any case--it's a real action story and makes me feel out of breath. I can feel my legs working on the pedals.

Nope, smaller, colder, and probably hotter with the humid heat, Canada's capital ;)
