THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER

 

 

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
