Altered perception makes Art life and life art Colours oversaturate Abstracts mesmerize with their chaos Each brushstroke texture captivating Clouds hang in the sky As light caroms off glass Leaves shine in brilliant green Painted crosswalk iridescent Though none see the difference in me I see it in them Glimmering eyes and smiles True beauty … Continue reading Fine day for a First Friday: Spencer Elliot Carr

The Midnight Society: Spencer Elliot Carr
A call to Order one by one we read words of love loss and pasts finger snaps follow each quiet performance then the poets disperse words left with coffee cups alone in the room to sit with themselves until the group rejoins them
Fine Circle (or the poem I unfortunately cannot share with anyone): Spencer Elliot Carr
It’s called ‘ideation’, that feeling you get in oncoming traffic, a casual swerve into the median, stepping off the innocent curb, as if it were the edge of a subway platform, walking down the sidewalk, as if each footfall will carry you off the brink, taking pictures from a balcony, and wondering what would happen … Continue reading Fine Circle (or the poem I unfortunately cannot share with anyone): Spencer Elliot Carr

With face contorted,
Mouth gaping,
Wandering One: Spencer Elliot Carr

Montreal at Night: Spencer Elliot Carr
The city is alive, Some dopamine-drenched dream, Or serotonin-stupor, There must be some meaning, An answer, a reason, The lights are eerie, I feel real, but surroundings Are a nighttime dreamscape, Odd things hold importance, Election signs in the moonlight, Edith Laperle, Debout pour Outremont, How can I be sure if I am awake, Such … Continue reading Montreal at Night: Spencer Elliot Carr
