What should we have taken
　　with us? We never could decide
　　on that; or what to wear,
　　or at what time of
　　year we should make the journey
　　
　　So here we are in thin
　　raincoats and rubber boots
　　
　　On the disastrous ice, the wind rising
　　
　　Nothing in our pockets
　　
　　But a pencil stub, two oranges
　　Four Toronto streetcar tickets
　　
　　and an elastic band holding a bundle
　　of small white filing cards
　　printed with important facts.
