take the Green Line to Gov’t Ctr . . . you used to

believe thresholds balance w/ a breath—

the streets will receive their due sincerity then,

the full sole of our best step

 

Blue Line to Maverick . . . you used to

believe disparity’s there for the taking—

the Brookline’s being taken now,

the steel tracks & the paths along the riverway

 

BOS → ICN . . . you used to

believe tragedies diminish in determination—

the seats had their passengers then,

the couple or two people w/ different drinks
