Because the vet shook his head
and shut his bag
and left -
he cursed her and kicked her where she lay.
Because she could not stand
but strained her neck
to no effect -
he beat her with his fists and pushed her from her stall.
Because she could not live
black and white
bones and bag -
he dragged her by her tail
across the rugged concrete floor
across the time that kept her from her end -
he dragged her by her tail
in a rage of desperation
his muscles bulging under a ragged shirt -
he dragged her by her tail
from his barn,
from his life.
Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
