The Humber is too small for ships

Yet on its waters they still ply

For those who see the “not there” in all things:

The memory of canoes.

The Humber descends from up north

And the Humber enters Lake Ontario.

You always hear people say this on buses in the afternoon.

But few know the creek that races under Winnett

And where it heads

And where it came from.

And, as such, because fewer people claim it,

The creek of my avenue is more grand and free.

You can take the Humber out almost to Niagara Falls;

Beyond the Humber is America

Where fortunes are made.

No one ever thinks about what’s beyond

the creek under Winnett Avenue.
