down grant avenue
then roblin
and across river Assiniboine
on narrow country bridge
to headingly
we unload
and hunch into booths
of familiar vinyl and formica
menus eschewed
we order chile burgers
fries and coffee
or milkshakes with tall frosty metal cups
we talk over
and under
each other
words
so important and mighty
ready to take on the world
this crossing over
is what lingers
