Calgary is a Meatgrinder


calgary is a meatgrinder
what else would cowtown be?
the only thing we decorate here
are cows

but we're secretly building
a set for the jetsons movie
with throwies on walls of glass
and a torch for the glory
of anything local
that's left
once the holes all get filled

at christmas it's dollar-store blinky things
what were the names of your step-cousins?
they'll understand
they feel like strangers too
digging in, with fathers
that want them to have
what they never had

calgary is a meatgrinder
what else would cowtown be?
the only thing we decorate here are cows
