02/03/2015 Author's Note: I have decided to try something new...posting this poem as a jpeg, due to the more complex visual formatting, to avoid a lot of extra time and work without the WYSIWYG editor here at Pathetic.org. Ottawa happens to be in an earthquake zone, and though nowhere near as bad or frequent as those on the west coast, we do occasionally get one big enough to shake things up a bit. Inspired by the first one I experienced; more like an 18 wheeler transport truck passing by my house at high speed, though the area has experienced much larger ones since then.

| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 02/03/15 at 03:36 PM I think '83 was the year we felt a tremor underfoot in New York City, whose bedrock is supposed to be the most solid on the planet. I loved the scheme here Chris. It left me "all shook up" to continue the early rock' n roll theme! |
