CANADA
Thanks to Infinity’s Kitchen
magazine for their kind permission to re-use this poem. This has been performed
once with a Canadian flag wrapped around the performers.
(The readers (any
number from 4 to 6) appear to the audience to read out of any sequence. They
look at the audience without looking at each other. Each reader reads one line
and the second word in each line is spoken at the same time as the
first word in the following line.
The last line
spoken by all. Please use at demos and events and put on You Tube!)
Snow falling
Falling down
Down wind
Wind blowing
Blowing hard
Hard ice
Ice breaking
Breaking
through
Through Artic
Artic seals
Seals crying
Crying no
more
No more blood
Blood stains
Stain’s
Canada
Canada’s
shame
