Mid-Canadian Ice is talking to Uncle
He is making sense of it
And speaking back,
'Yes, this ain't good but it's OK'.
Sharing life affirming stories about dogging.
He is making you think of the base burns of your first
Girl,
Lucy.
Uncle just got turned down by a hotter version of her
And now you can't ever marry Lucy
Because you know a hotter version of her exists
In Middle Canada
And she settled for a bassist,
A black man
Who now plays the drum and smiled at me.
Uncle is asking what kind of white man are you
'The best kind, Sir, the kind after ten of his Master's best'.
These pooling bruises back to back at an Stateside apartment
After they've stopped bear baiting the subway with heat
And Uncle is a voice and an open door, calling out
'So rarely do I need to say this
But I will bring you down to all fours, love'
