Scarborough

I’m at queen’s park. I saw a plot of soil that had nothing grow around the king Edward statue. It reminded me of a spot in Scarborough in 2021 of which people planted trees. They wrapped the small tree with which curly plastic. I think that’s for guiding how the trees should grow on that slope. It was closed to excavation site exposing the pipes from the ground in the Bendale park. I put some orange tapes around on the iron wires surrounding the pipes. It was to mark a location of which pollution has gotten city to work around the clock to make it clean. I wanted to emphasize how these types of construction affect indigenous identities and lives through the orange colors I saw of the then protests banners, every child matters. It wasn’t confused or anything. It was just a way to draw up the maps and make markings. I ate a Toronto pothole flavoured ice cream today. It was delicious tasting like coffee. I was debating whether I should have a McDonald’s soft serve ice cream or the summers ice cream. Then I decided to have summers one because it’s probably more healthy. Etc.
