The sparks & glow of Kennedy's foundry
a constant of steel & fire
a roster of men
passing through & picking up
work when able
& those who never left home
risked the worry of distance
nestled close to shore
where land & water meet
propellers stamped 'Wm. Kennedy & Sons'
loaded on to railway cars
because trains travel
where water can't take you
past city limits
south to Toronto
Michigan or New York
north across the sheld
& either coast
new boats for the proplellers
new cargo for the boats
then back through the canals
& seaways to Owen Sound Harbour
where land & water meet.
