The Game of Hockey 

By Government decree, lacrosse
Is Canada’s national sport,
But in the hearts and minds of Canadians,

Of big broken stones in round circle done
We reached up a more cruel clutter flank;

As climate pathology peaks
toward climax conditions

LeftBrain privileged blindness
and deafness,
tastelessness
replacing savoring,

and sea salty blue
fragrance,
bereft of internal robust feelings
and external wellbeing touch

We believe and think what beings we are;  
Juiced up ready to expel our seeds
to create new generations of replications.  
Each with different bumps and rinds divided within, 
but in...

I destroy childhoods and tear homes apart.
	I make you neglect your bills and blacken your heart.
  
	I’ll cost you a small fortune. I’m more valuable than gold.
	No matter how expensive, I’m normally gone before...
