Two

Two weeks, two weeks,
the Cape-Freak(*) cried
'till freedom is at hand!

I've waited days, nights,
hours long
rubber ducks and marching bands!
-From "Two Weeks, The Cape-Freak's(*) lament"

The above is an excerpt from the beginning of a, somewhat nonsensical, poem that a friend wrote in response to a complaint from me, via e-mail, that there were still two weeks to go in my second co-op term (the job was terribly dull). So, now, when I'm two weeks away from a transition, I sometimes like to quote it. I'll have to see if I can dig out the full version from my e-mail archives... if I still have them somewhere.

In any case: two.
