Hear the living cries of Dudley Square woes!
The heartbeat of Boston reveals
Life’s blood victories and defeats
Newborn babies in strollers
Young mothers, seasoned mothers
Fathers too!
Strolling,
And rolling,
To make a hustle to work
They go
Reading Boston Metro
Cell phones singing curses loudly of
Love’s soap opera gossip gone wrong
Or tender muted sounds of love’s promise
Look at the fine apparels worn to protect or expose
The appearance of a hidden soul
The lows and highs of self worth and self esteem
In arrays of bright and dark colors fashioned
Smells of
Restaurants, fruit stands and vendors calling
Sweet cooings of flying doves above
Living, breathing, moaning Dudley Square
Cry on! Cry on! Cry on!
The heartbeat of Boston reveals
Life’s blood victories and defeats
Newborn babies in strollers
Young mothers, seasoned mothers
Fathers too!
Strolling,
And rolling,
To make a hustle to work
They go
Reading Boston Metro
Cell phones singing curses loudly of
Love’s soap opera gossip gone wrong
Or tender muted sounds of love’s promise
Look at the fine apparels worn to protect or expose
The appearance of a hidden soul
The lows and highs of self worth and self esteem
In arrays of bright and dark colors fashioned
Smells of
Restaurants, fruit stands and vendors calling
Sweet cooings of flying doves above
Living, breathing, moaning Dudley Square
Cry on! Cry on! Cry on!
