“This City is different.” ['Vancouver RE-Verse'; Found Poem]

A recent children’s figure skating performance
at Sunset
brought in an inordinate number
of BMW, Land Rover,
and Mercedes.
I watched it all
while sorting through garbage
looking for cans
for deposit.
.
This City is different all right.
The kicker was the 7 series Bimmer
double parked at the entrance.
Any other town
I’d say it was a drug deal.

    Stranger than fiction. Most of the time.

  2. double park BMW should be keyed.
