This spring made winter an insulting opening offer, |
| [00:37.07] |
now the passing lane |
| [00:40.19] |
Is getter harder to negotiate, |
| [00:41.70] |
thawing out and racing up again. |
| [00:45.63] |
Past the Mint, where a circle of provincial |
| [00:48.13] |
flags are flagging in the front yard, |
| [00:52.57] |
Tired of trying to make us think |
| [00:55.20] |
that it hasn't always been so hard. |
| [00:58.38] |
. |
| [00:59.57] |
The sky looks seasick on the boxcar sway, |
| [01:06.32] |
Where the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away. |
| [01:10.26] |
. |
| [01:12.69] |
So the sun pulls me out a bit and lets me go, |
| [01:15.82] |
and I'm a vacuum power cord |
| [01:18.88] |
In the back of that van full of kids |
| [01:21.32] |
cleaning carpets for the Lord, |
| [01:24.38] |
And I make a little list of sounds |
| [01:27.00] |
I've found have comforted us in the past: |
| [01:32.07] |
The roar of the rumble strips, |
| [01:34.13] |
and the Mennonite meter of the flood forecast |
| [01:38.19] |
. |
| [01:39.44] |
Or how the wind strums on those signs that say |
| [01:46.26] |
The Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away. |
| [01:50.26] |
. |
| [02:18.76] |
Steer this boat around the snow plow spray |
| [02:25.51] |
While the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away. |
