TOAD. Temporary Obsolete Abandoned Derelict. That’s the current category of Urban Infrastructure for this Wading Pool in Ashbridges Bay Park, Woodbine Beach, East Toronto. It’s no longer a Wading Pool, nor will it the water pump ever be working again. So, I painted a Labyrinth here years ago, and it is still there. Quietly, in […]

TOAD.

Temporary Obsolete Abandoned Derelict.

That’s the current category of Urban Infrastructure for this Wading Pool in Ashbridges Bay Park, Woodbine Beach, East Toronto.

It’s no longer a Wading Pool, nor will it the water pump ever be working again.

So, I painted a Labyrinth here years ago, and it is still there.

Quietly, in the middle of green space, this Labyrinth of mine . . .

In Toronto, A City of Labyrinths.

Perhaps Vertical Art like this Plastic Oasis piece can be placed in those squares and rectangles, leaving the Labyrinth path walkable without obstruction . . .

In Christie Pits

The wading pool is emptied out
The trees have left their leaves about
You wear no coat, but breathe a cloud
In puffs that float, above the crowd
At play in Christie Pits

Last night the swings were flipped around
You try to reach them from the ground
Your sister climbs to set them back
While father mimes a heart attack
Brought on at Christie Pits

You snack on fruit and carrot sticks
On cans of pop and peanut mix
You heed the words from all the mums
To feed the birds but not the bums
Who sleep in Christie Pits

The swing is swung, the slide is slid
The climbers climbed, the rides all rid
It’s time to go, you beg to stay
A second NO! You turn and say
Goodbye to Christie Pits
