A boy walks up Mass ave in hopes that in this commonwealth it will be the day that we take it home. A boy in heart even after the pain in his limbs grows too much to bear, but not as much as the pain of a jilted lover.

A hippie chick saunters up the island as cars pass beeping horns. Tall langly Josh tilts to his left on a broken gyro scope and releases his hands; one in the air, one not, and lets them ratchet loose waving and extending digging tulips and scratching the clouds. Those hands seem to ratchet through the earth to china and the air to Heaven. For Heaven is where Salem is tonight. German Mike yelling down to his co-patriot, hoping to get this country out of the bush leagues. For the Red Sox have won the pennant; not any pennant, but the pennant, but the pennant that the soxs have beaten those damn Yengezees. The Reds finally rise and scalp their inhospitable hosts north of Plymouth.

Three times he passed. On the fourth time, him an exuberant lass, promise to streak. "What is twenty five dollars!” The other, She backs out and keeps her twenty as he removes five and streaks home with Mr. ratcheting hands collecting his clothes and following him home. Horns blaring.

Three years from tragedy, now relief. A glow in Peace has arisen. Every one on streets addressing each other with inner radiance. Long dark night has risen. David has tossed his stone and it was hit home. Will this David remain true to his king and friend, or sleep with the wanton bride?

Four years into millennium, will Dick get out of the Collin's hair. Or enter the bush. One stone gets two in bush or something. Will that stone be smacked out towards heaven as well. I only know that Mike yells from brick wall that it will be so. Hippie chick bounces braless breasts at beeping horns. Breast or Sox?

But tonight is radiance, stars are bright. Chill in air, early, but warmth in heart, about time. Things are going to change, things have changed, things are changed. Can't you see, it is all around.

Boy gets to walk back to bed, fifty years later, hopes at ease. Will he get his Va benefits as easy. Support your troops, support your sox.

Spats.
