Our Homes: a Mnemonic Poem

poem by Yuan Changming

Huron       is                  your               residence,               while
Ontario is     mine.                              Once    you sail       cross
Michigan, you     will be able to         join the            waters of
Erie,    where your spirits will     evaporate    even higher than
Superior, the    hub of all streams, rivers and     watery dreams ​
