Possibilities
Another gorgeous B. C. day – a walk – no driving
in an age, - consciousness of – that has been arriving.
On this fine day, on my rounds – the bowling alley,
I came upon, a lady I know – well not really –
I first met her at our local drug store – postal worker, her position.
A year later, on a Sunday stroll, I met her on Shaughnessy Street.
After our conversation, this PYT ( pretty young thing ) I did meet,
a smart ass, who gives me a wuz up ?, well sweetie, my supposition
is this, the sky, the clouds, the moon, the stars,
numerous solar systems, planets, happy humans and Mars
- who inhabit this universe – that’s wuz up my dear.
A perception from our point of view, I fear.
For - beyond the quicksand, the crust, the quagmire,
the mantel and the core, lays our spirit, set on fire
by all that hovers beneath, under, below wuz up,
that also becomes, wuz down my little butter cup.

When winters sub-zero arrives !!!!
Attention Homeless !!!
For your survival !!!
For you, who have been forced – by the hand of fate,
by circumstances beyond your control or by your choice
to live in the arms of Mother Nature, the shelter of a derelict house
- no longer a home – or some abandoned building on the fringes.
Come winters coldest dance ( minus six degrees Celsius )
you will be able to find warmth, comfort, shelter and compassion
from the harsher elements of winters by attending
Our Lady of Fatima’s – Knights of Columbus Hall,
located at the corner of Shaughnessy and Fraser in PO CO .
A notice will be posted on the door of Share’s Food Bank,
Trinity United Church 2215 Prairie Avenue Port Coquitlam
when this shelter will be provided for your benefit.
Please pass the word along to those you know
whom we may not reach through our network.
