a baby bird, dead on the pavement, beneath its tree,
an enormous concrete tower over the grave of our community garden,
clear sky, have stars, will travel.

un stage à Montréal
bon, alors - j'suis ici à Montréal. learning all about drugs. drugs drugs drugs. and addiction. dependence. abuse. detox. relapse. abstinence. harm reduction.
gambling, booze, smack, crack. and methadone. people who are sooo happy that they're in a methadone program. people who hate being on methadone. some on methadone a few weeks, others on it a dozen years. people who are trying very, very hard to re-write the stories of their lives. except that they're not stories. they're just lives, just people, and just a whole lotta drugs.
and i'm floating along through the maze of this city. happy en français, less happy en ville. but transpo isn't so bad with my handy-dandy metro pass, and there's good eating at every corner, and i've become hooked again on coffee and croisants. all i have to do now is go and find some friends to drink a little substance with myself, and a little art to help my brain process.
