she at dis/mantle art at spadina
museum, inspired by freedom,
seeker and the efforts of freedom
seeker, louisa pipkin, and the
efforts of black abolitionists
another towering landmark,
is expected to enter the fray in 2025
with coming union centre development
ultraman lives on planet ultra
there is no captain nippon
in japan, something of insect versions
of residual dorsal fin, sometimes the pinholes
as multiplex eyes, nor eyelashes
