Getting Out Of An Automobile
Getting out of an automobile
I sold for scrap I walk eight miles
around a lake, frozen, the snow
so bright, so fine, so white,
the entire world feels purified.
My world, anyway, without that car,
laid up so often travel often
felt like an abstract concept.
And now I am rich.
There is no breeze,
the air so clean it buoys me!
My chest full! My mind!
Oh! Canada!
This is air worth walking in,
the price of scrap metal pocketed!
