late afternoon another day is nearly done
  
  a darker grey is breaking through a lighter one
  a thousand sharpened elbows in the underground
  that hollow hurried sound of feet on polished floor
  and in the dollar store the clerk is closing up
  and counting loonies trying not to say
  i hate winnipeg
  
  the driver checks the mirror seven minutes late
  crowded riders' restlessness enunciates
  the guess who suck, the jets were lousy anyway
  the same mood every day
  and in the turning lane
  someone's stalled again
  he's talking to himself
  and hears the price of gas repeat his phrase
  i hate winnipeg
  
  up above us all,
  leaning into sky
  our golden business boy
  will watch the north end die
  and sing 'i love this town'
  then let his arching wrecking ball proclaim:
  "i...hate...winnipeg"
