Ha... This is a 'song' about the closing of the Barrington Street Khyber Bar a few years back.. The city of Halifax seemed to be bullying this local artistic workstation.
lyrics
catch a current,
drift by,
or link alongside,
far and wide,
and if the bored,
corrupt or callous
catch up,
wash 'em in the wake of
color swells,
re-ring their bodies and bells,
and if the pedants
and critics conclusions
catch on,
trip 'em up with
steamlined thunder,
treering wonder,
rooted deep
under feet,
where there
fearless care
mix and weave
to taunt and tease
starched pain
of the civic reign
over leagues
of ease
who humbly,
sensually,
roar with
the rivers twist.
