(BTW, those senseless question marks in the poem were originally em-dashes and must've got changed by cyberchemistry.)
 
I will ask her.

On Canada Day
 
 
On Canada Day
we thought we ought to visit the shore of a lake.
Most of the country is on the shore
of one lake or another?
at least if you can trust the Group of Seven.
We pilgrimmed to the big one,
down to Lake Ontario,
green like the sea with its far side curving, curling out of sight;
a few kids bobbed improbably in its hypothermic waters,
uneasy parents standing by,
with thoughts, no doubt, of E coli.
We skipped stones instead,
sought out sails on the spread of blue horizon,
and climbed beslimed rocks while golden gnats haloed our heads.
The barbecue-and-sunscreen-scented sunlight glowed on faces?
faces of every colour faces have ever come in.
Within a ten-foot radius I heard three tongues I did not recognize.
And from where we stood,
we could
not see America.
Or the Queen.
