The snow breaks
rain falls
it is March after all
though yesterday
you may not have known it
A lull in the fighting?
chance to regain
a collective breath
take stock of the issue at hand
emotions cool
temporarily
in others not
announcements pending
from Prime Minister
and President
after a scheduled phone call
Many of us
have come to the conclusion
the man holding the nuclear football
is not of sound mind
while concrete and
metaphorically
this spring
as always
brings a mixture
of sun and cloud
Perhaps some classic Canadiana
from 1968
to further remind us of
who we are
