The exercise:

Write a four line poem about: just like old times.

Oh hey, the Canucks defeated the defending Stanley Cup Champs last night to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

Wooooooo.

That's great news about the Canucks! I've just realised that it seems faintly odd to be hearing this news about ice hockey in the middle of summer, especially given how hot it is here, and that you have wildfires going on, but it's still good news and that's what's important!

Just like old times
“Just like old times,” he mutters as he grabs a spray-can
From the bag beside the door. What for? It doesn’t matter,
It’s just good to hold. Unlike his breath, which is
The cutting of razors inside his chest with every step.

Greg - yeah, hockey in August is definitely odd. Finishing in either September or October might be odder still, as that's usually when they're starting up.

Strange times.

Back in action (though obviously not at his best), armed with his preferred weapon? I am excited to see what comes next :)
