March 30, 2007 - 12 degrees

12°

Moana,it got warmer in Montreal today
and the sun came out and the snow melted
and the street salt turned to cinnamon
and the crooks all took helpful jobs
and the poets all settled their bar tabs
and the homeless all found condos on the Main
and the Habs won a game
and everyone got to see Arcade Fire live!
What happened on your street?

They turned on the fountain in Baldwin Park
and it gushed out extra bubbly Perrier indubitably
and rottweilers scooped up after themselves
and they rescinded all loitering and littering fines
and they sodded Greene Avenue for croquet
and Canada411 had you listed
and they filled all the potholes with gold
and my golden pothos turned to real gold!
Where are you?

All instant photo booths operated for free
and trains and flights were all half-off
and my Mountain Ash tree fell over
and the Rocky Mountains cracked to ashes
and the ashes sprouted banana trees
and the banana trees sprouted hammocks
and we peeled off from our sides of the country
and met up in the hammock grove
and curled up like quotations and talked.
And you missed it. Your bad.
