Excerpt from UNA (Umbrellas Not Allowed) by Rich Baldoza:
In the fading eloquence of silence
I hear the noise of a brand new day
Strumming the light of my reflection
Stretching the patience of my alarm clock
Alternating between snooze and harassment
Like the two piano keys of white and black
It’s Monday once again, the start of
My five least favorite days of the week
Out of my window a drizzle of white
Blankets new blossoms and unfound Easter eggs
Snowflakes lost in the middle of April
Just usual Edmonton spring weather
