Cool Dark Summer<\/strong>
\nSEAN ORR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A cool, dark grey cap of clouds in July
\nmakes the light fight even harder for
\na spot between the maple and cobble<\/p>\n

The resulting pressure – a wind
\nBrisk, banking off buildings where street plans clash
\nRustling patio umbrellas in the hazy dusk<\/p>\n

Updrafts up your spine
\nAnd the drinks you are drinking
\nAnd the people there<\/p>\n

And so it is an event occurring
\nAn event, that is, timeless, yet ultimately
\nof time<\/p>\n

A moment, if it were<\/p>\n

possible.<\/p>\n

Sean Orr<\/strong> is the writer of Tea and Two Slices<\/span> on Scout Magazine (formerly Morning Brew on Beyond Robson), musician under the name Tassels, and self-taught street-photographer with nearly 10, 000 works on Flickr. I also have a ridiculous tumblr called Don’t Dad that the kids all seem to enjoy. My Twitter account is just sort of okay. I ran in the 2006 Provincial Election as a Green Party candidate. I’m not exactly sure why. I’ve been published in a bunch of publications and I’ve had art shows at all the really cool underground galleries. I have a mental illness. I also have a cat named Gustav and a tattoo that says “tattoo”. Ok bye.<\/em><\/div>\n
