You have never seen the Tim Hortons’ employees outside their restaurant. You didn’t apply for a job there when you turned sixteen, but they called you all the same. Twice. 

There’s that boy you went to school with, Samuel, he was once so rude that they - you do not know any boy named Samuel. 

There comes a time in January when you cannot remember what’s buried under all that snow, and you are glad. 

You wonder what the others hear when the winds from the Great North blow; you always want to ask, but the winds made you promise not to. 

The week after the New Year, you walk past the frozen lake and hear knocking from under the ice. You smile, and you do not know why.

A warm summer means the maple syrup will taste like rust and something you do not want to name; the trees miss the cold. 

The hospital’s waiting room is always full and you can never remember why you’re here. 

The weatherman speaks of the coming snowstorm with a fondness you will take years to master, much to your sorrow. They can sense fear. 

Something old something new

You can't even go on an expedition to find a passage through dangerous ice fields and die alongside 100+ men for your hubris anymore. Because climate change 🙄

rest in peace thomas armitage. died tragically and miserably under mysterious lead-based circumstances in the arctic tundra circa 1848 on a failed expedition only to have your decaying frozen bones get mislabeled, shoddily reburied, have your boyfriends wallet and diary taken away from you to be archived, meanwhile you get gnawed on by various creatures for another hundred years, just to be rediscovered again later and laid out on a piece of plywood from the Home Depot, and then get shoved in a bag which was placed in an acid free box and then shipped to ottawa in the early 1970s just to have some unpaid intern along the line lose your bones. and no one even gives a fuck.

it’s snowing again, you can’t remember the last time it wasn’t snowing. has it always been snowing? have you ever seen real grass or felt real warmth? 

you pass some kids playing hockey on an empty parking lot. they stop there game when you pass. they all wear blank expressions on their face and their eyes appear to be glazed over 

you think you see some canadian geese fight over what looks like a human femur   

tim hortons always seem to appear when you need them. even in the middle of nowhere. is it just a coincidence?
