So Pass the Moments of the Night

What an ephemeral wash
of simple human beings
sharing simple human experience

There is not need for high art
No need for symbolism of metaphors
Just one person telling another

How the weather sucks back home
About Canadian history and its intricacies
About who married who
The beauty of Victoria at sunset
Where you'll be in two, ten, and twenty years
How this wine is just superb
The nutcase Billy and his wild adventures
Hourly wages
Past and present events
and where you're going to spend the winter

Why do we fight
For art and reason
when truth exists in others

Life is but a drink away
A "How are you
or a "How's your day"

Such is human life.
