St. Transcona

Transcona calls me at three in the morningdemanding a rewrite

But I've moved to St. James. And the Free Pressis already printed

The rivers are bingeing and purging again--you see them only in the spring on the early news

This love moves toward somethingat bonspiel speed

consider yourself unhaloed in a trailer parkin St. Vital

You can lead a tourist to the Red Riverbut you can't make him drink himself to death

It's Saturday eveningI'll be at home, fucking up locutions

Sunday morningI'll be at the floodway burying Saturday
