“We are carrying contraband words with us, memorized, tucked away in tattered journals and stored magically on disks in Anna's left pocket. Canadian words, queer words that we spoke on-stage for money in the land of the brave. With no valid permit, license, visa or contract to do so.

It's just this kind of shameless law-breaking that gives all poets a bad name.”
― Ivan E. Coyote, Boys Like Her: Transfictions
