I'm a bit of a perfectionist so it really bugs me...more than it should ha! The Olympics...well I live in BC and since I'll be paying for it in taxes for decades...well I'm not too pleased. Although I went into Vancouver last week and the city was buzzing, and some randomer had a cowbell (?) but feeling the buzz and excitement was cool. And I'm sure the shad trees were lovely :) I know, the internet sucks when you’re trying to find a poem! I’m a bit of a perfectionist so it really bugs me…more than it should ha!

You don't think there were shad trees nearby? When I don't have a published copy of a poem, I have to rely on the (unreliable) internet. Since I couldn't get access to the poem through <I>The New Yorker</I> without paying, I got this from another blog, I think. There was a time I meticulously proofread everything I posted, but then the Olympics started... What? You don’t think there were shad trees nearby?
