Vancouver

Vancouver's a private reference and it's not really about Canada as a whole, just one experience regarding the aforementioned. Shh! Schwein Fleisch vs schweinefleisch. As two distinct words it literally means "pig skin" as one word it means "pork". I mean it as two distinct words so that it can tie in with "pound of flesh". I was going to have "haut" but apparently "schweinhaut" is actually a surname. Oh those unlucky few who roam the world as Mr and Mrs Pig-Skin! :( __________ Vancouver Chasing rainbows along horizons Is insane. Clear misunderstanding. You left the city and your pound of flesh. Schwein Fleisch. We were young, laughing and colliding Corrupt to the claws. We were Writing endlessly, listlessly and so Apologetic. Pathetic fallacy The downpour flooded the chalk into grey. Of course we wrote about you. Reviews were decadent and ego-manipulating. We were akin with it. The world was always a Spectrum of amazing. Had to run. Through the rainbow with Your look of Old Nick. No explanation. Schwein Fleisch.
