FAVOURS I DID TODAY
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
Yarmouth NS, afternoon
Today I gave three dollars
to The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia’s
donation (admission) box
Today I gave three dollars
to a hungry (He said) bum
who remembered My Brother Howard
but didn’t know
He had died, or how
Today I gave My Daughter
fifty dollars
for a pedicure

I toiled to bend consciousness to the will
Of the ever-hungering industrial military complex.
I whipped physics to a frenzy
To fabricate tools of death and domination.
I suppose you win this round.
This provoked thought.
Another donation.
Thank you, Ben.
