WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Lawyer on Queen St.: He's been playing that d*** accordion for three solid hours. I can't concentrate.

Annette (to everybody else): Don't get him started

Vince (at different times): Play louder ... play softer ... don't sing  ... here's some pasta, can you stop

Someone in Halifax: your timing is all wrong

The Nuns: Stop!

Max: Well ... I like the flute music

City Clerk on the phone: You can't do that anywhere in a public place

The City ByLaws: You can do that before 11 pm as long as it does not exceed a certain number of decibels

Sam: I hope you're not getting paid for this

Ex Nihilo (From Nothing)

posted by Hyoomik   

(March 26, 2010) Written to some ancient meter taken from Horace. I like meters. About the beginning of the world, the beginning of human life, and our present state of being dots.
