Toronto’s glass and metal towers
prick the blue sky
Vancouver’s slick green parks
and flowered streets are a walk
through a painting
Banff the town that sits on a saddle
of mountains is a perfect summer ride
the Rocky Mountaineer a train that
moves mist cuts through iced peaks
skirts lapis lakes and pine slopes
and then there’s my favorite moment
in Canada
one plain pigeon and three chickadees
snipping crust pecking crumbs
a bully two dummies and a trickster
on a sidewalk stage at a café
entertaining a crowd of just me
