I’m not scared to cry when somethings beautiful it shakes me to my core, I can learn to laugh at ugliness and find it all a bore The winds they blow in silence, though sometimes they roar Time it passes slowly, til it’s knocking down your door Is this complete? Like a record freshly pressed Is this complete? Like the stone beneath your feet Is this it all? Like a ballot firmly cast Or like a placard on the wall The radio is in the corner where it’s always been Same CDs are still inside since I was seventeen I got my lungs from staying quiet lest I act a fool I got my brains from finding stories while I was skipping school Is this complete? Like the bread inside the bones Is this complete? Like the gold inside the wheat Is this it all? Like the leaves inside the bag Like how we must bear the pall I’m not scared to cry when somethings beautiful

Studying faces, the airplane pitched I was jostled out of my reverie You saw me the night of the rain You helped me roll the awnings Passed the village, you said "Let's see this castle before the night fades" Karma from a past life surfaced with a grin - yeah Crowded spaces in a life without sin - yeah You know how much I'd love to save the ring on my skin But by this time the puppet shows were three times a week I sit on the windowsill The damage not irreparable God at your nightstand, love in reverse Mousehole cells drive sailors mad Boats traveling to far off lands Airless and sunless, without remorse So distinct, beautifully remote I hid my stack of outdated maps and nailed two pieces of wood Together we are better Separated we are good.

Hello Neighbour, My name is Natalie Smith I live in St. Johns I want to be your next councilor I believe that city hall needs to realign its top priorities The well-being of people should be first This means housing This means safer streets Cheap and reliable transit Support for our neighbours struggling with mental illness and addiction Countless advocates and organizations are already addressing these issues while the city waits on other levels of government like the provincial government Our city needs to be proactive instead of making them ask for support we need to reach out and ask how we can help Natalie 4 Mynarski! Vote for Natalie!

I’m on a trip I am on a trip of the student kind, chilling on Navy Pier, checked out The Bean, gonna grab A Pizza pie, but I was unaware, navy pier was run by zombies. I can’t grab a Chicago style pizza now my arm is being bitten off. This is the worst school trip I’ve ever been on. At least our bus driver was nice. But, I swear to God if I don’t get pizza in my mouth next time i will turn into a zombie I’m giving this trip fucking no stars! This is the worse school trip I've ever been on.
