An Ode to the Humber River in the Fall
Updated: Dec 7, 2020
In my favourite place in the city I take a backseat
And laugh at the mindless perseverance of those schools of salmon
Those ridiculous creatures β do they know they have an audience
Of ogling humans who π₯πͺπ₯ πΊπ°πΆ π΄π¦π¦ π΅π©π’π΅ and π°π© π΅π©π’π΅ πΈπ’π΄ π€ππ°π΄π¦
Every time they catapult themselves into frigid waterfalls of ambition
Born to return home just to leave again
Only now, when the fallen leaves paint the earth amber and ash
If you will β
Only now, with fish who havenβt made it home
