Mounds

Tom decided to cover the molehills with dirt and gravel until they started to look like mounds. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill!

Before the building of school grounds, an area near my home on Lulu Island was mounds of dirt. There was an impromptu bike track. Wild red poppies grew. I would fantasize that amongst the mounds were Star Wars' Jawas.

On the 22nd of March of 2022, I went to the pizzeria twice, in the morning and in the afternoon. I went to the cafe to have Strawberry Coconut Drink in the crowded afternoon. Sitting at different, but proximate tables, were Don, a white man with glasses, and Chen, a stocky Chinese. They were talking. Don was about the same age group as my younger brother Paolo; both went to Rideau Elementary School, whilst I went to Errington Elementary School. I remembered that the Rideau school field was just mounds of dirt with an impromptu mountain bike circulating racetrack. There were red poppies growing. I imagined Star Wars' Jawas lurking in the mounds. It was the late 1970s.

The mounds built by native people 1400–800 years ago were used for ceremonial purposes that remain a mystery.
