Hub of the Universe

to walk your streets, they are the same

the people are different

From the Back Bay to Quincy Market

I'll walk those streets

down Huntington Ave

across the Public Gardens

and through the Common

The headphones will be playing Dylan

Positively 4th Street on Park

Head to the harbor

catch a ferry to Georges Island

There I will look back at the skyline

while eating pistachios and almonds

dropping the shells on the granite blocks

of the old Civil War fort

Later, taking in a game at Fenway

sit in the bleachers, thinking of Yaz and Rico Petrocelli

the green, green field and the Monster to my right

after the game, stopping in at the Bull and Finch

cold Sam Adams and Goldfish crackers

Tomorrow, the Globe announces a Red Sox win

and race results from Suffolk Downs

and a Jeveli's ad on page 6B

another fine day in the Hub

blue, blue skies

and later a trip to the top of the Prudential

gaze out among my city

looking for home

finding it at my feet.
