Abstract

The train moves west

the American lady says

"are you native-born Canadian?"

Yes, I say, I'm surely that.

Well, she says, can I tell her

and her friend, Vancouver-bound,

when we'll reach

the more interesting country?

I smile gently I hope

because she couldn't have known

and say

"I was born and grew up

hereabouts

and for me this is

the more interesting country."
