It’s a boring classroom
but close to a window
I gaze out at the world
a (probably) unlicensed vendor
hawking Phillies shirts
and other team wares
Well, the play offs are here
and we hunt for Red October again
the posers are out in force
slurping up bootleg shirts
and cheaply stitched caps
Vehicles both frantic and indifferent
hustle along Market Street
Pedestrians, skateboarders and cyclists passing
and it’s all in fun
and the dream will persist
and sustain us
at least until it doesn’t
