CAPITAL PROJECTS

A nature-loving lady gets bushwhacked
by a bushwolf and sends park rangers
on a coyote-killing spree. Stranger:
I've stopped receiving paycheques
because the company that hired me
laid me off and claims to have no money--
but when I stop by work, I find something funny:
brand new asphalt on the parking lot. You see,
that cash comes from a different pot--which smells
to me more like a crock of something fragrant
used to fertilise a field. Such flagrant
sophistry! Next up, collars and bells
for predatory wildlife in the Highlands
and bridges linking all the Thousand Islands!
