bottom of Herbert Road to the
foot of Eglinton Hill dream

                                              girl of my child
                hood reached to take my wallet as I
                                contemplated houses
                                              in the window
                                              I grabbed her wrist
                                righteous to justice you’re coming with me
                                              I won’t get fooled again
                                but with no design she
                                                              looked up
                                              to me the fear that even I
                                                              would hate her and leave her
                                                              without power – the only thing she had and I
                                                                                                            I fell in love
                                                                                 with those eyes
                                                              and those shoulders –
                                              the spell cast
                                yet again
