it's the unravelling

i miss victoria a lot today.
i miss chelsea hotel.
my porch. my windows.
chelsea-calgary peacemaking is going well, but the stampede is just too much.
there are too many cowboys in this town.
and it's so stupid because all i want
to tell them is you know, cowboys ride horses, not escalades.
you petulant philistines.
there are too many of those here, too.
unfortunately, philistines are not limited to those sporting denim button-downs.
last night i watched two police officers leave their van in neutral while they strolled down to starbucks for a late-night latte.
there are so many things wrong with the previous sentence, no?
