dancing and swaying bare back bay on the harbor water
up and down and all around making a sound
splish splish psssh drip drop all in the rhythm
of paul revere’s horse on cobblestone
low moan and drone of boat motor
groan of wooden piers stretched by ropes
5 strand hemp
blue, white, yellow, red ribbons of light
shining and reflecting the heartbeat of the city
kaleidoscope vibrations spectrum twisting
traffic horns fortissimo down Dorchester street
downtown crossing Fenway way way over
from the north end on down toward Quincy parts
boats in the harbor bobbing up and down
restless souls in a summer night
party people on lansdowne street loud and unapologetic
charles river esplanade green and peaceful
trees blowin’ in the mass breeze
walking around cambridge harvard square
I’m an Oxford man myself
statues watching and keeping guard
bloodshot eyes glowing on the turnpike
coming and going, coming and going
heading over to a dunkin’
