The Vancouver Special
This one,
the one out
there,
West of the special
derby, downtown
T.O.,
where the wild's still
being run
down, whittled,
flexing into Fraser rods
and more
a sense of service
in all the boys
keeping tight to the river
and bringing back
the continental breakfast
with salmon shoulders
shrugging off that
long blue idea
of keeping score
of something getting in
in waves
