46 – Shamefully Distorting History


Quantum leapfrogging the ripples spreading across this old pond


as when aliens tune in the feed


squeezing cyclical lies to make them fit the square of patriotism


To forget shame the historian wrote “the end”


revisionism the new solipsism, I am what I say I was is a full-time job


The deeper we dig the more archaeology makes a good novel


all too easy is her middle name (I leapt) is the most fun you can have for one dollar


writing in a name for your unknown father in hope of getting one more chance to deal


so high and wild he’ll never have another


Creating histories in Canada teaches that history shamefully distorts


I am writing backwards the most banal landscape into a utopian wonder
