equalizing

have been back for almost 7 days...

as expected, there is disorientation.
somehow i had gotten used to being
bombarded by new environments.
but now i know i will be here tomorrow
just like i woke up here today...

i keep expecting to wake up in the morning
in a cramped train encompassed by old-man
snores, wailing babies, and irritating
irish girls who like to wake up sleeping
children by yelling at offending snorers.
it's odd that those days are over.

but being outside is good.
being with friends is good.
eating meat that doesn't taste
like radiated poo is good.
i've been walking around places that
are triggering memories i haven't
recalled in almost a year.
i used to go for coffee and talk for hours
over here. there's a muffin place where
the swish lingerie store used to be.
the CPU still has the same cracked window.
a stroll across the river is still 7 minutes
and everyone and their dog is at Prince's
Island Park on the weekends, or on a raft
along the Bow river.

Saturday, ran into an old aquaintance at a
party somewhere around the 17th avenue block.
reminded me of even more people i haven't
seen in a long time.

last sunday brunch was dim sum at Treasures of China
discussing military strategies for a
Civilization global domination.

today is attempting to produce dinner with whatever
food i've found in the fridge as i am afraid to
go to the supermarket knowing it will all end
with ketchup chip remnants on my shirt, red fingers,
and yelling at the scale.

i don't know whether i should be impressed
or alarmed at the variety of sauces, condiments,
and spices we have.
i'm either going to make something fabulous
with swedish salmon sauce and white fish
or curl up in fetal position and ring for pizza.
