I live in a town called Nanaimo
Where the rain is wet and the wind is cold
The city reeks even when it rains
Thick moist asphalt secretions
Brick alleys echo like they're clearing their throat
and screaming simultaneously
Flat tires float down rivers of spit and cigarette butts
Just to end up drowning in it
I live in town called Nanaimo
Where the streets and skyline meet
And soaking dogs howl in the street
