❝ Scene
“A grin though going back on Saturday, always enough fish, it's Cape St. Mary's. A grin in my lapel and, make no mistake, glad to be back to civilization one mile up the road.”
The poem names Cape St. Mary's and Point Lance, anchoring the men's fishing-tilt life on Newfoundland's Cape Shore.
