Longitudinal Centre-John K. Samson

[00:00.36]07.Longitudinal Centre [00:01.49]. [00:32.95]This spring made winter an insulting opening offer, [00:37.07]now the passing lane [00:40.19]Is getter harder to negotiate, [00:41.70]thawing out and racing up again. [00:45.63]Past the Mint, where a circle of provincial [00:48.13]flags are flagging in the front yard, [00:52.57]Tired of trying to make us think [00:55.20]that it hasn't always been so hard. [00:58.38]. [00:59.57]The sky looks seasick on the boxcar sway, [01:06.32]Where the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away. [01:10.26]. [01:12.69]So the sun pulls me out a bit and lets me go, [01:15.82]and I'm a vacuum power cord [01:18.88]In the back of that van full of kids [01:21.32]cleaning carpets for the Lord, [01:24.38]And I make a little list of sounds [01:27.00]I've found have comforted us in the past: [01:32.07]The roar of the rumble strips, [01:34.13]and the Mennonite meter of the flood forecast [01:38.19]. [01:39.44]Or how the wind strums on those signs that say [01:46.26]The Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away. [01:50.26]. [02:18.76]Steer this boat around the snow plow spray [02:25.51]While the Atlantic and Pacific are the very same far away.
