Ottawa Scene

Cultural Olympiad

John W. Macdonald is the unofficial photographer of Ottawa’s literary Scene.

Poetry

Wisdom
George Elliott Clarke

Expect us—just like our mothers once did.

I don’t pretend to make it as poetic and flowery as the bible; my tale need not have any aesthetic quality. There would be no verses, or any of such triviality. It won’t be in testaments, old or new. This is not an epistle or a letter to the Romans or the Corinthians or any particulars; it is not a book of proverbs or any other form of praise singing. I seek not to give any commandment, or to promise damnation to anyone. It is not for self-glorification either. This is just the missing parts of the Other Book; the other side of the story...
