Merely poetic license, I believe. Like so much of Gord's excellent writing. His imagery is second to none. Another reason I can't believe he is not yet in the Songwriter's H of F. Just confirms for me that the SHOF is as political as every other award show and Hall of Fame! A shame! Gord has not received his "due" because he has never preoccupied himself with playing their silly games!
He didn't play their silly games by moving to the USA. He stayed true to his heritage, to being a Canadian. Personally, I respect him for that. But, I think, had he moved to this side of the border, he'd have been inducted long ago. Yes, it's silly, stupid politics.
