About this blog

In Toronto, there is a nightly news magazine called T.O. Night aimed at the commuter crowd. One of the
features that it contains is a section called Shout Out where readers can send a short message, rant, note...
to someone, or to anyone...

I started sending Shout Outs to the woman that I am in love with. Not all of them are published in
T.O. Night - and once the magazine is tossed, so too is the shout out...

Here are most of the shout outs that I have submitted - and some of my other writings to
The Lady on the Train...

A body of cruelties and kindnesses

To The Lady on the Train,

I inhabit this body and it has shared with me all of its cruelties and kindnesses. 

The greatest of these kindnesses have been the sensation of your soft skin next to mine, the sound of your sighs in my ear, and to watch the dazzle of stars in your eyes. 

And when this body finally fails me completely and expels this ghost, it is these memories that will haunt me. My body’s cruelties of weaknesses and pains will be forgotten and It will be those moments of my body’s kindnesses that become the chains that I rattle.
