Packs of lupins parade through
the ditches, unfazed when cars whip by.
They’re tall, they’re overdressed,
but they own it, looking like Disney

The day wilts around them,
but still they rise into the near-blue sky,
scaffolds of pink and purple vertebrae,
spine enough for every one of us who hesitates.The post Darlings first appeared on The Walrus.

In 1982, Bombardier Inc. landed a monster contract to supply 825 subway cars to New York, valued at $1-billion (US$622-million).

A contentious Senate hearing in Washington followed and retaliatory duties were threatened, but the U.S. government let the deal proceed, agreeing that Bombardier had promised to provide better quality and quicker delivery times for the cars.
