A Cruise
to Nowhere
By John
Cuetara
We’re driving
through ghost-town/Boston,
the city of
my birth, admiring the
empty silver
buildings of the waterfront,
passing a lonely
fleet of casino boats.
I long for a
lobster from one of these
shuttered seafood
joints, I’d love to
take a booze
cruise on that tour boat
or visit the
modern art museum.
I’m ready to
throw a party celebrating
spring and the
end of hard times
like they
did after World War II.
I love this old
city and can’t wait
for it to come
back.
