all looking at their feet


all looking at their feet


leaving behind another labour day

traffic in every direction

stuck on the 401

listening to Casey-Jo on the radio

Indi music accompanies the cemetery breeze

convoys are everywhere

big rigs casting shadows over my windshield

on the paved shoulder rests a helping hand

a tow truck waiting for fresh bait

exit on Bayview to avoid the Allen

but construction is everywhere

cranes fill the landscape

road repairs on every other block

dump trucks and hard hats

where did people go

the occasional tribe visible at the bus stop

all looking at their feet

could Job have withstood this agony


thank you,

joseph pede
