CHARISMATIC MEGAFAUNA

By Quiconque

Eleven Haikus about Vancouver

Three white streams trailing
from tiny boats in the bay
Hello Canada!

Waiting for customs
a cute boy and I bemoan
our poor choice in lines

A kind bus driver
chats with me on the journey
�Where is your accent?�

Suburban houses
are shielded from noisy streets
by massive hedges

Dior and Chanel
gleam in the storefront windows
hold on, this is Sears?

The aquarium
provides good fauna sightings:
whales, seals, and Whoopi

No f�hn or falling,
the mountains here are friendly
the Germans are, too

A knock on the door
fettucine alfredo!
I love room service

An anthro hobbit
disrupts the presentation
with talk of fieldwork

Sleepy policemen
stamp my passport with red ink
onward to Utah!

Accurs�d air train!
The subway takes longer than
the flight from Salt Lake
