Blue –
the water-coloured orchids,
the GNC shaker bottle,
your favourite kettle on the stove,
and the Creemore beer can –
is so majestic, yet morose and missing in itself.
And so are we.

The city below makes the sound of a
drainage pipe sticking into cool air,
overflowing with flood waters.
The pieces of the puzzle move –
every jaded, free animal and
the numerous happy bits of matter that
cannot, or will not, think –
in a strange, perfect design
built by no one.
We assemble reality in our head
like Ikea furniture,
and we make stories to give it meaning
where there is none.
Can I be the grand architect?
It is no one’s right to give,
and nothing’s right to take.
