Roo's First SK Winter

"Guess I will grow myself some boots!!?!!??" says, The Roo
It's been 20 years since I've lived a winter in Saskatchewan.  
It's not so bad really.  Kinda good really.
But The Roo and I still have a longing for the West Coast in the winter.  
That will always be.

Dead Letter and Infinite Yes

I found a letter it read 
"Our existence has serious side effects" 
Turned on, turned on the television 
It's telling me the world is collapsing 
I think it's coming and it comes so fast 
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes 
And I don't know why it is 
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad? 

And my therapist said 
"We've evolved through a series of accidents" 
There's been talk of chemical imbalances 
Restless sense of detachment, nausea and or violence 

I think it's coming and it comes so fast 
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes 
And I don't know why it is 
I feel it coming, I think it's real and significant 
I think I think I think a little too often 
That's what my therapist said 
We're alone in this wilderness 
Left to choke on the pills and to feed on the viruses 
I think it's coming and it comes so fast 

I think it's coming and it comes so fast 
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes 
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad 
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad
