I like Kurt Russel as Captain Ron. Grace Under Pressure on in almost any circumstance. I like dark planetariums. I like when she wears them low-cut shirts and yoga pants. I like unbroken snow on lodgepole pine boughs. The rusty pump of a jay's forest communiqué. And I like a rowdy fuckin' Pride parade. I like how Hedges tells it like it is. I like the sciences. I like profound mysteries. I like The Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" And the emergence of competing histories. And I like the Maple Leafs Cuz they remind me of me: Inconsistent, fragile, internationally reviled. I like allegories. Cinderella stories. Ahow ndinawemaaganiidog, Wabanakwut ndigo (Hello my relatives, I am known as Grey Cloud) Aapijii iinzan mewinzhaa kete-Anishinaabeg gii-soongide’ewag (Apparently a long, long time ago the ancient Native people were strong hearted) Kii-gichi-anokiiwag, kii-jiikendamoog (They worked hard, they were happy) Aapijii iinzan kii-chikinaagoziwag (Apparently they really looked good) Kete-anishinaabeg ogii-wiidookaawiiwaa shaaganaashiiwag (The ancient ones supported the Europeans) Gegoo wiin wiikaa oniikesiidaa (Let’s not forget that) Pizaaniigo nagamok! Nagamok isina! (Go ahead and sing you guys! Sing real hard guys!) I like speculative fiction: dark narratives Of the future that looms. Of our impending doom.
