Either side of the hill

Either side of the hill

It’s where the ships' hooters came from,

the other side of the hill, 

where the docks are;

or the black works, on the black river,

on the other side of the hill.

Get up there boys

and spin your rainbows,

immiscible in oils,

in spoils, in whirls,

in worlds apart 

in all your similarity;

for there is no circularity 

around the hill,

where the boys spill;

for after all, after all,

they hail from

either side of the hill
