every year, there's summer trouble
across (or in) the river
in quebec, after Victoria Day:
there are students
hot-buttons and trouble)
there was a fire
in a family
house,
there's been a triple-murder
in a
boarding house;
there are more details forthcoming
to dampen the mood of another
crushing humid summer,
to forestall an indian summer,
after the killing
of that global
warming
spring.
