After running to the peak of Mount Royal
by @ariel-evangeline-baptista
I didn't say a word
but it was a race,
You know?
And on the path in the forest
Switzerland is Germany is Montreal is Home
and that makes sense.
And the people smile and nod
Smile and say Bonjour
And who among us is fastest?
Who will make it to the top?
I arrive all alone
and that makes sense.
And the city smiles and nods
Smiles and says Bonjour
And I know,
You know?
I know how
Switzerland is Germany is Montreal is Home
And nothing has ever been more clear
Than that fact, and the wind at the top of Mount Royal, and the diamond breath that left my lungs, and the diamond sweat that left my brow
So I smile and nod
Smile and say Bonjour
Because Home is Montreal
is Germany
is Switzerland
and that makes sense.
