LCBO journey vignettes

I'm in kind of a weird mood today. :)

Whoops!  I meant "liquor", of course.  What you must think of me, my goodness. ;)

1
paved with gold


long line
    like geese
    like Beatles
leaves cross the street
    pirouetting
    like Trudeau sans the Queen
wishing they'd hold tight
not ready for fall.

2
hold my licker

Went to the licker store
Got myself some licker
I needed that — had a good, stiff tall one
helps me sleep
a good licker'll do that
    every time
wish I could manage it on my own
maybe one day

3
great rift valley

in sandals
    She walks before me
    with each step
    a split second
    bares her heel
like something
    primal
        forbidden
ceaseless
    sensual
        slap
            slap
                slap

'midst straight lines and steel
concrete and clock knives
it really doesn't take much.

I know exactly what to think. In fact, for me, that was the best of the three - but that probably says a lot about me.

Sorry, meant to ask: LCBO?

LCBO: Liquor Control Board of Ontario (Crown corporation that sells booze in this province). Er, I mean, Licker Control Board. :)

You can't control a good licker - or do I mean liquor?
